Congrats on the launch. Slick graphics. I can't remember the name of a similar app launched recently, but I'll ask the same question I asked them... Given we know 'carbon footprint' was an idea invented by resource companies to invert the need for action from themselves to individuals, how do you grapple with that truth and the path you've chosen?

Wow this looks awesome, incredible how big of a carbon footprint I've had, and who knew it'd be so easy to offset it! Big fan, definitely will be using this going forward.

Whoa! Cool step to take for climate action. Stellar team behind it. Congrats!

This is great, I love the design of everything too. I do have an error: When I try to add a second email account, pressing "add email account" closes the window.

Wow. This is beyond amazing. Great job!

Downloaded and would love to be able to use this, but it looks like scanning of travel receipts in Gmail is the only supported calculation method. Is there a plan to support other email accounts besides just Google? (I’m using iCloud Mail + have other accounts elsewhere). Would it be possible to automatically detect certain types of travel via phone movement / GPS / even bank transactions etc?
