Humans have always known how to live sustainably. It’s in our nature. Commons helps us tap into our inner carbon compass. Together, we’re using our spending to shape a sustainable world.
A more abundant, balanced, connected way of living is within reach. Life on Earth is rich.
The most sustainable action is the one you’ll actually take. Every bit of improvement helps.
No shaming. No panic-inducing headlines. Just practical, rigorous guidance to make impactful choices. Always grounded in data.
None of us can reverse the climate crisis alone. All of us can do it together. We change the world by changing ourselves and each other.
The climate crisis is heavy. But we’re inventing lighter ways of living. We create space to be humble and find joy.
We have less than 10 years to cut global emissions in half. More of us than ever before are concerned about the climate crisis and want to take action to make a difference.
For me, the climate crisis became real when I worked in international development in Ethiopia and India and saw first-hand its devastating effects, especially for poor and vulnerable people. Since moving back to the US, I’ve also seen changing climates disrupt lives at home.
I started tracking my carbon footprint in an excel spreadsheet 10 years ago because I couldn’t find any good tools to help me align my life with the world I wanted to live in. As I built my intuition for the choices that mattered most, I cut my emissions by over 30%. And my life is richer, healthier, and happier because of it.
In the last few years, people like me who shift our behavior have created massive market shifts. Plant-based eating has exploded, bringing down the emissions of our agricultural sector. People demanding greener modes of transit have shut down flight routes.
I founded Commons to help people tap into our collective carbon influence faster and more intentionally. The climate crisis was caused by humans. We’ll reverse it too.
