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 explains what they're doing to combat global warming Wren pays organizations to reduce global warming. Naturally, donors want to know how their money is being used, and Wren is very transparent about that. A good amount of the money is spent on marketing but that's because Wren needs to get their story out to grow their system. And it seems to be working: their expenditures are increasing year by year.

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.

Way more permanent than planting trees. It's not just planting trees, which can be cut down easily. It's something more permanent - mineral weathering or binding carbon in biochar. Those, who rely only on planting trees, look silly when compared to wren.

Very satisfied with the service The service of Wren is highly transparent. They give an insight about the projects which are funded on a regular basis. In contrast to many other services who plant trees (which might be chopped down in a few years), Wren has several other concepts to save CO2.
