Ask the last 10 people you spoke with if they’d like to be more ‘eco-friendly’ or ‘green.’ Chances are, 10 out of 10 would say yes! However, the impact of being eco-friendly can feel invisible. Your daily commute is one of the most impactful personal choices you can make, but when you’re taking public transit, biking, or carpooling, it’s not always easy to see the difference you’re making.
What if you could own a piece of the sustainability pie? Imagine that Joe Smith contributed a 2-ton offset of carbon from the Oregon BioChar project or that Julia Green helped save 2 acres of prairie grassland in Nebraska. Good start, right?Â
Our mission? We want to make commuting better by rewarding you for making sustainable choices. It’s about making it easy and fun to ‘own’ a piece of the sustainability pie.
How Does it Work?
We’re simplifying the process with a 3-step system in the Pave Commute App:
- Earn Coins: Ride your bike, walk, take public transit, carpool – whatever your green commute looks like, you earn coins for it.
- Redeem Your Coins: Choose from several carefully curated carbon offset projects. We’ve picked the best ones to align with our values and yours.
- Get Your Offset: Once you’ve selected and redeemed your coins for a reward, you’ll receive an offset certificate tied to your actions!
Understanding Carbon Offsets
Carbon offsets allow both individuals and companies to compensate for their carbon emissions by investing in projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. These projects can range from projects you may think of like planting trees and protecting forests to developing renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency. Traditionally, carbon markets have been inaccessible to individuals, but advances in the last few years have abstracted away much of the complexity involved with carbon credits.
What Does the Future Look Like?
By joining Pave Commute, you’re not just making a personal impact – you’re part of a larger community working towards a greener planet. Imagine the collective impact we can make as more people choose sustainable commuting options.
To make these carbon offset rewards possible, we’ve teamed up with Thallo, selecting projects that match our mission and your values. As we refine our approach, our top priority remains creating a fun (and simple) experience for our users.
