@jack_bruner this is one of the most interesting apps I've seen these days. You should partner with the @Stripe Climate crew to work together (hey @orbuch ). cc @patrickc

Great Idea! Ask yourself why WOULDN'T you do this?
With COP26 happening right now and governments being too slow, the private sector needs to step up. What better way to do it than a plug and play like this :)
@jansen_sullivan We believe that in order for us to expect major top down decision making from governments and the private sector, we need bottom up pressure from regular people. We built Carbon Neutral Club to give anyone the tools to support climate change solutions and start to reduce their personal impact. Day by day, decision by decision, we're adding to the global climate movement from the bottom up!
@jack_bruner this is really cool. How do you feel this product competes or compliments crypto projects like Klima that are also giving folks a way to purchase carbon offsets and create community around this problem?
@product_at_producthunt Hey Michael! Thanks for the feedback and the thoughtful question.
At the end of the day, crypto projects like Klima and Carbon Neutral Club have the same goal. To alter the incentive structure consumers and businesses face with hopes to trigger near-term climate action. We've just gone about achieving that goal from different angles.
Our focus at Carbon Neutral Club is to help consumers understand which behaviours are impacting their emissions footprint, and incentivize them to change those behaviours and funnel their spending to support lower environmental impact options.
End of the day, climate change needs many solutions, not one. Consumer, businesses and government all need incentives applied to them to force a shift in thinking. We applaud Klima's innovative model and how it could trigger a behavioural shift in how offsets are used!

This one is absolutely a game-changer! Massive congrats to Jack, Jeff, and Roee for bringing this idea forward in a much needed space.
We pay to remove the carbon footprint for the employees for both of the companies I run. It could not be easier to set up. This is a well-executed product on so many fronts.
@jaypiddy We are so happy to have the your whole workforce onboard. You're leading by example. Thank you for the support and kind words!

Fantastic product, run by a passionate team that is dedicated to making a positive impact on a global scale. This is such an important initiative and Iām proud to be a Carbon Neutral Club member. Excited to see the future growth and impact that this product makes!
Yaaas! This is what we need to see more of. šš½
There are exciting places this can go.
Some ideas:
- build a Chrome extension that, like Honey, suggests savings at the point of sale for greener alternatives from the growing list of vetted companies you guys are creating
- build a mail-client plugin that reads invoices and calculates a carbon footprint for your self that you set as a target to beat the next month
- give members an online social badge that displays them as digital Carbon Neutral advocates across platforms
I'm sure you guys have thought of a lot more/better ideas. Congrats on the launch!
@alirtariq Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment and suggestions. I'll respond to each of your ideas below!
1. Chrome Extension: Fantastic idea. We have plans in the future to be able to provide a carbon comparison for all of the products offered via CNC in comparison to the industry average. This will allow our members to be able to see the impact that they are having with each purchase!
2. Mail-Client Plugin: This is very interesting and not something that we have yet to think of or document! There are services out there that could make this a reality, so it has been added to our backlog to explore further!
3. Social Badge: It's coming!
Thanks for your support, and if you have any further questions or feedback, please contact us directly - you can reach me at jeff@carbonneutralclub.com
