greenbonds | 6 years ago | on: Launch HN: Wren (YC S19) – Offset Your Carbon Footprint

Congrats on the launch! Curious about your thoughts on the carbon impact of carbon offsets vs investing in green bonds that fund energy efficiency projects (e.g. https://copower.me/en/) vs investing in public companies that fund sustainable development (e.g. https://www.hannonarmstrong.com/) vs investing in green energy companies directly (e.g. vivint solar or first solar).

I recognize that the direct dollar-to-CO2 carbon impact might be lower, but green investments might enable higher retail & institutional spend (since it's an investment instead of a donation) and therefore might have more impact on reducing CO2.
