Is there something like this that individuals can contribute to? I'd love a subscription I could pay into monthly that could be used for something like this. Short term, put it in inflation protected securities. Long term, buy me carbon removal once certain criteria are met.
- mvkel 5y agoArcadia, perhaps?
- sauwan 5y agoThey look like an interesting company, but I don't see any kind of offering like this.
- thinkcontext 5y agoI would avoid Arcadia's wind offering. They lost their certification a few years back, probably because they were buying worthless Texas RECs which cost less than $1. Last I looked they were still sourcing from Texas. They do have community solar options in some markets which appear to be what they say they are. Many people aren't aware of it but a large part of the US population has the option to choose an alternative electricity supplier, including those that offer varying percentages of renewables. Usually it costs more but at times I've gotten lower rates. There are unscrupulous companies out there that will try to lock you into a bad contract so read any fine print closely.

- kisamoto 5y agocarbonremoved.com I started this a year ago with exactly this purpose. Recently we added the ability to fully customise your removal plan and will shortly also have carbon removal via mineralisation in concrete to choose from.
