Meet Matthew, a technology enthusiast determined to make a difference at his own scale.

Matthew says:

“It seemed so obvious! The climate challenge we have cannot be attached with 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.’’

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 to a good cause.
