Give a damn about climate change!

===

I started Decarbon because I'm... scared. The climate emergency feels more and more urgent, and for years I've struggled to understand both my contribution to the problem and what I can actually do about it.

The result is Decarbon: a simple tool to help us demystify our carbon impacts as we push for systemic change. It’s our mission to bring humanity into harmony with nature through consumer empowerment.

If you have any feedback, or want to try Decarbon with your company, my co-founder Zack and I would love to meet you!

Peace,
Kyle

Does my carbon budget actually matter in the grand scheme of things?
One person's carbon impact is a teeny tiny drop in the giant lake-sized bucket of global emissions. But! Your personal carbon budget absolutely matters. For a few reasons:
1. Millions of individuals and businesses actively striving to reduce their impact can make a difference.
2. Educating yourself and your community on the biggest areas of climate impact can empower you to know where to focus your activism.
3. The urgent need to respond to climate change demands that we try every single thing we can to reduce our collective impact. Let’s go all in.

How does Decarbon calculate the CO2e impact of my purchases?
Tap the info icon on your purchase to see the exact calculation Decarbon made! The CO2e impact for your purchases is a simple multiplication of the purchase amount, the CO2e emissions factor (CO2e per $) of the purchase category, and any modifiers that you can apply to the purchase to make it more accurate.

What should my annual CO2e budget be?
It should be as low as humanly possible! The initial goal on Decarbon is 7 metric tons of CO2e per year, so you can start with that and then lower it as you begin to understand your impact.

How does climate change action work on Decarbon?
In Decarbon, anything that helps us mitigate or adapt to climate change is a “climate action”. All climate actions are created and then filterable by the teams you join. The Decarbon team that you start with has a list of dozens of actions.

How do Decarbon’s expert collabs work?
Decarbon collabs bring everyone in the app together to work towards the same climate action goal. These collabs are hosted by a different leader in the climate movement. Collabs are a great way to learn and hear how these experts became more involved in their particular area of focus.

Will Decarbon work outside the USA?
You can use Decarbon anywhere, but the experience is currently optimized for individuals living in the United States.

Easy to set up! Great for all levels!

Having done a lot of carbon apps that take ages to set up only to get estimated numbers about yourself, this was so quick (maybe even less than 2 minutes for me to setup) and it had real data about me I’ve never seen calculated (i.e. my purchases). I liked being able to switch to show I use renewable energy at home and that it provided more actions for me to take beyond measuring my footprint. Even after I checked off the reductions I‘ve made there were still lots left for me to do. And I like that I can offset here as well - all in one place.

Great idea! Love the simple interface and easy to follow instructions

As someone who doesn’t know much about carbon offsetting / budgeting, I think the app does a good job introducing these concepts to me and most importantly, visualizing how my every day purchases are impacting the environment. The dynamic offsets feature and easy setup with your bank makes tracking a seamless experience, and I look forward to reducing my carbon footprint! The app seems to have some cosmetic bugs that need to be addressed, but otherwise, I can see myself using this fairly regularly.

🌱 Excellent, easy, intuitive!

Decarbon tracks my daily purchases which is useful to me as I learn more about my own carbon footprint and my impact. I love the user guide which explains how the app works. Super easy and very digestible. I had no issues with setting up my bank and navigating the app. The app itself is also very clean, user-friendly, and fun! Will continue to update the the app, play with its features, and learn more on the user guide!

Great for those who are trying to be more mindful of their environmental impact and not sure where to start!
