The difference between indulgences and carbon offsets is the latter actually fund climate solutions. There are hundreds of solutions that already exist and purchasing offsets is one of the ways individuals can help with deploying and scaling these solutions.

Very stoked to share that Wren 🌱🍉 has joined USV’s portfolio. We’re just getting started 😄

Joining USV in our round are LocalGlobe and many fantastic angels. Shoutout to Yancey Strickler, Paul Graham, Chris Lu, Paul Yacoubian & Jason Jacobs for being the first to believe in us. Thanks Soda for the story! It’s a dream to work on climate with @landon__brand & Ben Stanfield.

I have never said anything like this, nor will I ever say it. It’s never too late to do as much as we can, every fraction of a degree matters. There are of course no magical “dates” for “saving the world”. I am only quoting the SR1,5 IPCC report on remaining CO2 budgets.

Terrible things happen every day, but when someone like Kobe — who seemed so untouchable, so omnipresent and larger than life — is taken away it really drives home how absolutely nothing is guaranteed and our time here is pretty precious

Know anyone working on getting carbon out of our atmosphere? Send them our way, Wren is looking for more projects! projectwren.com/blog/request-f…

”The difference is about the same as a decade of fossil fuel emissions from the UK, Germany, France and Canada put together.” Tropical forests are rapidly losing their ability to absorb carbon. The fact that this isn’t on every front page is terrifying. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The public benefit corporation structure makes it possible for a business to have a mission, instead of focusing only on profits. For Wren, the PBC model helps us quickly scale our impact while committing to an unwavering mission and values. Here's how: (1/8)

This is the event that got me thinking that maybe I could be a founder. It's been three years, but I still remember Laura Behrens Wu's and Avni's talks about Shippo and Poppy — thanks for inspiring me & thanks YC for bringing together these role models :) x.com/ycombinator/st…

I've been using @scoopsofjam at Wren for a while now — no more 100+ comment Slack threads when we're click testing a new feature! 😌 Let me know if you need a better way to leave feedback directly on your website and I'll get you an invite 🍓🍰

TIL that gunner's quoin in mauritius looks kind of like stitch and baby yoda's brainchild. thanks Google Earth

Last summer, my housemates and I were evacuated twice because of Napa fires for weeks at a time. This is what living in California is going to look like every year for the rest of our lives, unless we start taking climate action today! 😔

I'm excited to announce Wren's latest fundraise! Late last year, we had the opportunity to partner with Nico Wittenborn at Adjacent to give Wren the funding it needs to grow (to the tune of $4.9MM)! 🧵 Thread below wren.co/blog/posts/ann…
