CAWren 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

CAWren 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."

ILI 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.

CAWren is exactly the platform I was looking for! Wren is exactly the platform I was looking for. I've been looking for a platform that allows me to donate to activities that mitigate greenhouse gas emissions over a broad category of projects (including lobbying, carbon capture, nature protection, emissions reductions, etc). You can track where you money goes. You can easily modify your donation amounts and focus. The only downside is the relatively large fraction of donations they keep for their operations. I guess this is the price to pay for a great web interface and all the research and coordination required to find new projects.
