I love knowing I am doing something to help It might not be much, but knowing that I am doing even a little bit to help fight the climate challenge is very heartening.

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 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."

Wren – can't be more transparent Wren is a great way to really have a tangible positive impact on man-made climate change. You yourself can decide how much you want to spent – it even calculates how much you'd need to pay to offset your footprint entirely – and through the monthly updates that they provide you know exactly where your help is put into. I can only recommend it and it isn't even that expensive: I personally only pay 20€ per month to offset my entire CO₂ footprint and a little bit more. So when looking at our own and our kids future: This is not much to change the world for the better.

Wren is funding Climate positive projects Wren is funding Climate positive projects that are making difference. Projects I can relate to such as forest protection and natural carbon capture by tested methods. They are small but can be copied and so scaled up around the world. It is a way fo every individual to help with climate positive action that will make a difference over time. Please be part of the solution and contribute monthly
