We just purchased $3 million in carbon removal, which will remove more than 5,000 tons of CO2 from 11 organizations.
This isn’t just our largest purchase. It’s one of the largest philanthropic purchases of carbon removal ever. Read more here: open.substack.com/pub/terras…
It will surprise no one that we believe philanthropy has to play a much bigger role in carbon removal. Like, right now.
Thanks to @mcjcollective for giving our very own @AFraser the proverbial mic to go deep on this topic we really (really) care about.
We're launching our Carbon Council! This team of experts will help guide our carbon removal purchases as we aim for gigaton impact. Check out the details here 👉 terraset.substack.com/p/intr…
Excited to move even MORE philanthropic capital to CDR with @stripe Climate Orders. Now we can quickly purchase carbon removal from Frontier’s best-in-class portfolio. Because more money going faster to permanent carbon removal is *exactly* what we need to get to gigaton scale.
Last year, thanks to the work of @SenPacioneZayas and @RepKamBuckner, we were appropriated $5M to provide grants to 41 orgs using sport as a tool for youth development.
We are counting on renewal of funds through HB2483 & SB1795 to sustain these crucial programs into next year🧵
