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.

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.

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.

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.

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."
