This joint approach harnesses technology to enable more people to live sustainably and become carbon neutral at the tap of a button. It’s climate action, scaled up.

Partnering with Ecosphere+, YAYZY can now go further, helping users to become carbon neutral by supporting certified carbon offsetting projects in the Peruvian Amazon and Indonesia’s South Sumatra.
