I see lots of criticism in this thread and elsewhere about that carbon removed stat. I would love to see more productive criticism, where people make suggestions on how they could do it better, instead of just criticizing a company of this scale at least doing something. Or examples of companies that are doing a better job of it. Personally I'd prefer if they didn't call it carbon removed unless they were actually doubling the shipping carbon removal, and they should call it offsets unless it's all coming from some of their direct capture partners (which iirc Shopify does buy from).

Even in the best of cases, it's a speculative con. The only purpose is to make people feel good about consuming more, which they do to distract from their miserable and alienated existence in late-capitalist society.

  > which they do to distract from their miserable and alienated existence in late-capitalist society. Is that so?
