Wren is about so much more than carbon offsets I've been supporting Wren for a few years now as a poor college student. They're transparent, impactful, and effective. Wren is about so much more than offsetting — it's also about lifestyle changes such as eating more plant-based foods instead of meat, replacing flying with other things, and talking about climate change with loved ones. I think Wren is very conscious of the limits of carbon offsetting. Even though that's their core business model, they are doing a lot of great educational work on social media to raise awareness for the importance of taking personal action on climate change. It's easy to write Wren off by saying that "carbon offsets are only a band-aid solution when systemic change is what's really needed," but some people seem to have that attitude almost as an excuse to avoid taking action. If you have the financial means to support Wren, most upper-middle-class people are morally obligated to do that in my view. That's only the beginning of what's needed to respond to the climate crisis, but you've got to start somewhere. As Wren's tagline says, "systemic change starts with you."

Playing a Small Part in Wren’s Impact I appreciate the project updates that we receive regularly. Seeing how long-time initiatives are doing and finding out about new ones is lovely. I trust Wren and feel good about playing a small part in the impact they are making.

A key piece in the puzzle of solving climate change With my Wren membership, I'm helping fund a key piece in the puzzle of solving climate change—and that makes me feel good! My membership funds high impact projects like biochar and mineral weathering that permanently remove CO2. And I fund super high impact carbon offsets too. Most offsets from other companies are really sketchy, but Wren sends me updates with details on exactly how my funding fights climate change. I've trusted Wren now for over 3 years, and every few months they add new climate projects or impactful features for me to support.

Wren is making a difference in big, important ways! I have supported Wren for some time now, and am impressed by the many projects they have brought on line to reduce emissions, transition to renewable resources. Recently I asked to switch my contribution to their tax deductible program, and the response to my request was prompt, personal and efficient. If you wish to be part of addressing climate change in productive ways, I recommend you check out Wren.

No better way to reduce your carbon footprint I can't find a better way to reduce my carbon footprint more conveniently than paying Wren to offset it for me. I do want to make changes myself as an individual but the impact of that is limited. However, it's not nothing and Wren suggests those changes as well.
