Create your profile, calculate your yearly carbon emissions and offset them with a simple monthly subscription. Choose from 27 different offset programs across 17 countries and read up on your program’s overview, impact and what species of trees are planted.

👋 Hello Product Hunt! Founder / maker here. I started working on Neutral after Black Summer (the period of unusually intense bushfires that ravaged many parts of Australia). I realised our government isn't acting against climate change quick enough, so I decided to try and tackle the problem head-on. Initially I started by trying to reduce my own carbon footprint in my daily life. Swapping Uber rides for walking, reducing electricity usage around the house and taking less flights (though to be honest, COVID may have been a helpful factor here). It's virtually impossible nowadays to live a carbon neutral lifestyle, so I started looking at reforestation - the primary method of offsetting your carbon emissions. There are a bunch of organisations out there that allow you to make donations, but they're typically one-off. There's also a bunch of calculators online to estimate your emissions, but I found them either inaccurate or hard to use. I also found a few people building in this space (which is brilliant) but none of them supported reforestation programs in Australia. That's why I started building Neutral: an app to help you live carbon neutral and create a better future by planting trees in the country of your choice. By working with existing organisations, we're able to offer 27 different offset programs across 17 countries so you can make an impact in your own backyard. I hope you'll join me in my mission to combat climate change! 🤔 When you've had a chance to try it out, I'd love to know your thoughts. 💡 If you have ideas, there's a roadmap that you can access through the app settings. Feel free to suggest anything you'd like. 🐞 If you run into any bugs let me know and I'll have them resolved ASAP. Much love 🌲

@haydenbleasel Congratulations on the launch! Neutral could be solving this need gap - 'Calculating climate impact for everyday tasks' - posted on my problem validation platform - https://needgap.com/problems/36-... . You're welcomed to explain how Neutral solves their problem, so those who need it can find it easily.

Fantastic work Hayden! Amazing design and love the concept! "I started working on Neutral after Black Summer (the period of unusually intense bushfires that ravaged many parts of Australia). I realised our government isn't acting against climate change quick enough, so I decided to try and tackle the problem head-on." - this to me is spot on and love this initiative. Awesome work legend :)

@dansiepen Thank you mate, so excited to share this with people who understand the problem. Hope Cenario is going well too! ❤️

@haydenbleasel Thanks legend I appreciate it :)

Looks great! May I ask how the carbon footprint is roughly calculated? Is is an average over countries / products for example? Just curious because we are working on the same topic and are always wondering about how to best do this :-)

@ldeddens Hey thanks Liesbeth! We actually calculate it from ground up using a few key categories (like utilities, expenses and travel) and formulas from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, then show you how you compare to country averages 😄
