Unless you maintain and protect a large swath of nature

what about this

😁

the energy costs for the restaurant to operate, maintain their structure, maintain the roads for you and the employees to get to and from, costs of employee transit

that would be split though? a bit like a bus or train, average costs to produce the meals would be lower as they’re made in bulk

You are highly unlikely to be cradle to grave climate positive

that is true, you can see my ecologi link in my profile with my eventual goal, although that’s just for the sake of it

i have recently funded a second solar battery which should reduce another few thousand co2’s out of the air every year pushing me even further co2 positive

there is also corena which i want to donate too after this damn russin invasion is up, money goes to them, they lend it out at low interest rates, the money comes back and they can lend it out again, pretty damn good

there is still work to be done though, never give up!

I find money to be a really good proxy for carbon emissions. The more you pay for something, the more people get money that they eventually spend on energy. So, if you go to a restaurant and pay $100 for the meal, don't focus on where the potatoes were grown or whatever, focus on the $100 - where does it go? Most of it ends up paying for the expenditure of energy eventually.

Yes, but like the restaurant where you are just a pro-rated slice of "the bad things", schemes like this make you a pro-rated slice of "the good things." It's not a bad thing, but it's not as big of a good thing as it sounds by the time 10,000 people share in its "goodness."

Re: https://corenafund.org.au/

This: https://mangocats.com/ao/BeachVendorBlockchain.html is a half-baked idea I have been kicking around for use of blockchain tech as a backbone for small scale / local credit. Don't go expecting the simulation servers to be running or anything like that, I just spent a weekend updating the old ideas with spare AI token credits recently and while it made tremendous progress, as the papers themselves say: it really needs hands-on time and attention to develop it properly.
