Part of the Solution Too often, climate discussions turn into comparisons of various state-imposed solutions, usually punitive taxes, stifling regulation, or both. Being both climate-conscious and a staunch supporter of free-market solutions, Wren has given me a way to do my bit toward solving the climate crisis without merely handing more power to governments. Their offsets allow me to directly fund climate solutions, while giving me an incentive to reduce my footprint in a way that fits my life and values (and suggestions on how to go about it!). This puts power back into the hands of individuals, and shows that we can solve global problems with voluntary solutions. So subscribe to Wren, and be part of a freer, cleaner, better world!

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."

I'm actually really impressed I'm actually really impressed with Wren. I'm a born skeptic and have been especially skeptical of anything related to ESG since it's so easy to exploit people's good intentions and poor training for personal gain, but Wren is a truly stand-out project that strikes the perfect balance of transparency and private development. (For example, they tell you all about the projects they're investing in, but the process of figuring out what the org should care about and how to support those ideals is less public (although probably not secret).) This provides you with all the information you might want without being noisy. Additionally, they're quite scientific in their assessment and selection of portfolio projects.This gives me a lot of confidence that my money is not just getting dumped into someone's Lambo. I've been with Wren for almost 2 years now and I can safely and emphatically say go for it.

Wren is a much needed project Wren is a much needed project. It makes carbon offseting an easy, fun and scalable process. Great UI as well as clear communication. Two features I admire: 1. Groups: It's an innovative use case and has great potential for friends, families and team members (companies, orgs, etc..) 2. Carbon API. Building automations around offseting is quite an interesting platform for building an endless amount of use cases. I'm eager to test it out!
