Meet Matthew, a technology enthusiast determined to make a difference at his own scale.
It seemed so obvious! The climate challenge we have cannot be attached to any one approach; we need many. My own personal journey has been about reducing my footprint in terms of consumption, installing solar panels, using less direct electricity, and offsetting what I am still generating. In the wider world, reducing consumption is a piece, cleaner generation is a piece and carbon removal MUST be a piece as well. As such, it was an easy decision to support Climeworks - I also sponsor trees in the Amazon.
Matthew says
Do what you can. Every little helps. A lot of people contributing small amounts (reducing footprint) adds up to bigger amounts. Buy locally, walk or bike more, buy less clothes, reduce your meat consumption by just a bit, and so on.
Vision for the future:
Matthew envisions a world where there is increased unity to shift how we source energy, improve distribution grids and grid storage, better support for micro-generation of power, and less externalization of the true cost of carbon.
Matthew summarizes his motivations as:
Supporting a company and industry I believe in
Feeling better about my unavoidable emissions and lifestyle choices
Matthew does this for future generations and views his purchases as support for a good cause.
