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!

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.

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.

Wren is awesome Wren is awesome! Made me realize it's actually not that expensive to live carbon neutral. When I first joined as a student living in a studio a few years ago I was able to offset all my CO2 for less than the cost of my Netflix subscription. The cost of offset has increased a bit, but I decided to stick with my original annual amount. They never increase costs unless you choose to!

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."
