Climate change is unfolding in our lifetimes and we can't wait for governments, scientists, or corporations to fix things. Earth Deeds supports ecovillage projects by engaging groups to onset their travel emissions and pay-forward their environmental costs.

Earth Deeds is a crowdfunding platform for groups to measure their carbon footprints and fund sustainability projects of their choice.

Earth Deeds' online tools to enable all of us to acknowledge our environmental impacts and support meaningful projects that build local community resilience. We call this new system onsetting. Rather than “neutralizing” our environmental “sins” through carbon offsetting, Earth Deeds says, “Let’s be grateful for all that fossil fuels have enabled; let’s also recognize the environmental costs of burning these fuels; and let’s ‘pay it forward’ in ways that can help heal our world.”
