Meet Maiko, an inspiring mother from Japan
Maiko deeply cares about the environment her child will live in, and is determined to be proactive about it, acting at her own level, as an individual and a mother. She also thinks about carbon removal as a gift, raising awareness and making it part of the message she conveys to the next generation.
Maiko says:
“I purchase Climeworks carbon removal simply as a mother of a child, to give him an eternal gift. Therefore the purchases have been made under his name, and the first purchase was on his birthday in 2021.
One of the wishes that any parent would think of for their children is for them to always be in good health and live in a favorable environment, and this is one thing I can do for him and the future generation.”
As far as I know, Climeworks is the main DAC company that lets individuals join the journey of carbon removal. There are many ways to reduce CO₂ emissions, but those are still insufficient to offset what we emit throughout our lives. DAC technologies and Climeworks provide more proactive opportunities for people from anywhere in the world willing to take responsibility for the future climate and environment.
Vision for the future:
Human activities do not have any further negative impacts, and humans can also act harmoniously as part of the global ecosystem.
Maiko summarizes her motivations as follows:
Supporting a company and industry I believe in and putting my money to work for the climate with a tangible solution
Feeling better about my unavoidable emissions and lifestyle choices
Maiko does this for:
Her kids/future kids and family
Future generations
Maiko identifies as:
Acting as an individual
Living in a medium-sized city
