1,000 tonnes of CO2e monthly
We’ve set the bar high and aim to reach 100,000 customers, making a huge impact on the Earth.
How Earth is climate-positive
Average monthly carbon for a router - 0.98kg
Average monthly carbon for a landline phone - 0.49kg
Average monthly carbon for broadband usage - 6.29kg
Total CO2e per user every month - 7.76kg
One tree absorbs one tonne of CO2 over a lifetime of 100 years, which is an average of 10kg per year. Earth customers plant one tree every month through our climate action partners. In addition, for every tree planted, three indigenous trees are protected through Forest Conservation Committees.
Earth is building one of the first climate-positive broadband providers. Most of the Earth team works from home, and we aim to make everything self-serve and easy for customers, which means we won’t need hundreds of employees.
The money we save on operational costs will be reinvested into customer growth, increasing our impact on the planet. The more customers we have, the bigger our impact will become.
Although our carbon footprint is minimal, we’re in the process of measuring this as accurately as we can and will make this information available to our customers very soon.
