Contact Klima Support

I wanted an app to tell me ways in which I could reduce my individual carbon footprint, like make swaps. I live in the US where everyone’s carbon footprint is huge. I don’t want to just pay money to an African country that doesn’t need my help to feel fine about the amount of carbon I produce. I’m literally paying indulgences like a medieval catholic rich person. This is tone deaf!

There is a lot of transparency about where your money goes. The carbon ledger helps that sense of transparency. They also show that these projects are independently certified for effectiveness. I admit to being worried about giving money to something I cannot see in person. However, it is a compelling case to give money though Klima: to pool money towards a common cause and use a fraction of that money to attract others to the cause. If I could ask for more: 1) Can we see and hear more stories about the most recent carbon purchases by Klima members? 2) I would love to be able to fine-tune my carbon calculation based on monthly consumption (home energy bill; gas purchases; pounds of meat; and anything else we have control over in our daily lives.)

I like the idea as someone a few years into my sustainability journey, but I think Ecologi is better (even though they don’t have an app yet) because they let you choose where you plant your trees, there’s different projects every month, and you can offset your pets and family members’ emissions. You can also add additional trees/C02 offsets mid-month and they have gift packages as well. Ecologi also has business plans (because while the consumers can help, at the end of the day 100 corporations are responsible for 70% of emissions.) Not sponsored, just some thoughts for improvement. Ecologi is Uk based and doesn’t have an app, so for some people this might work better.
