Anirudh Gupta and Siddhanth Jayaram, co-founders of Climes, offer ways to carbon neutralise everyday activities, from bus trips to ecommerce purchases
Wouldn’t it be great if with every delivery of food, groceries and ecommerce purchase you make, you are offered a simple and affordable way to also make a dent in the urgent fight to tackle climate change? What if someone goes a step further and offers you an option that is even fun, and intellectually engaging by giving you ways to decide where your money should go?
Meet Anirudh Gupta and Siddhanth Jayaram, who are attempting to do exactly this at their climate finance venture Climes. Jayaram and Gupta have developed a solution that allows people to opt in to pay a little extra, each time they make a purchase online, be it a bus ticket or an apparel or even a flight ticket. In the backend, they’re curating a growing list of local climate action projects to which the money thus collected can be channelised by the consumers themselves.
