🌱 The Impact Fellows Newsletter #17
Featuring Aerial's sustainability-focused platform and new opportunities across education, technology, and design!
💡 Featured Social Impact Organization: Aerial
Aerial is a sustainability platform that seeks to track and offset carbon emissions from individuals, enterprises, and blockchains for brands, artists, and everyday people. They have an app that is intended for general users, and services for NFTs and corporations to reduce their carbon footprint.
Founded by Andreas Homer, Ari Sawyers, and Ebby Amir in 2019, users can track how much carbon they release into the atmosphere, offset that through contributions to verified environmental projects, and gain data into climate insights from credible science writers. Aerial has also worked with public figures such as Shakira, Calvin Harris, Martha Stewart, and Ellen DeGeneres to offset the NFTs they've launched.
According to their website, emissions through Aerial are calculated "based on the energy consumption of the Ethereum network and the average gas used per transaction." The startup currently works with verified environmental efforts across the world to offset these emissions, such as the American Carbon Registry and Climate Action Reserve.
Aerial has been featured in a variety of media outlets, such as The Weather Report, Fast Company, HYPEBEAST, San Francisco Chronicle, ESPN, CNBC, and more!
