There will be little incentive to preserve biosphere lands.
This is really cool! Kudos to the team there for doing this!! Semi-shameless plug (it's for the environment!!): We're launching something similar next week here [1]. Instead pulling off revenue we're helping teams plant trees when they close an issue or merge a PR. I think the additional visibility to the team members as they work has a great feel-good vibe! We currently connect with Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab & JIRA.…
This is pretty awesome! How does pricing work for this?
EDIT : Also this initiative seems to be very research-focused, rather than be just about using already known methods?
Kudos to Stripe and the team behind for this proposal. Unfortunately, it's only available for US companies. Hope they will expand it soon.

As usual with this kind of initiative, there is no info on the type of trees planted, where they are and why it does matter to the local environnement. There is no way to verify impact.
My comment might be harsh, but most of the releved criticized can be easily addressed with more information.
European countries like Sweden or Iceland have low footprint because of the population lifestyle and the energy coming from abundant renewable source.
If the fund go through « iterative » innovation I don’t see how this is supposed to solve anything ? There is countless studies on those topics.

This smptomatic of the green-washing trend. Planting trees by itself is not an action that is inherently good: it is if placed where useful for instance to fight desertification, it can be dommageable in other cases such as planting non native species, or planting moni-cture forest.

The idea came to me when I saw the popular youtube campaign TeamTrees [1], and wondered how we can achieve a similar throughput on a regular basis.
We're still looking for t he best partners forward the money to. We'd love to allocate to any provider we think is going to do the most for the climate. I'm happy to forward they money to Stripe as well if they have better strategies for this.
It seems fine to forward it to the team that Mark Robber and Mr. Beast put together (assuming they have done proper due diligence given Elon & Tobi have donated 1m respectively), until we find better strategies.
This is a great initiative depending on where the money goes, but fundamentally the race to solve global emission is doomed to fail.

1. "population lifestyle": consumers must change their habits and companies must change their products/factries to reduce footprint
2. "energy coming from abundant renewable source": invest in renewable energy sources
Both of them need funding. Stripe is requesting funding for this. How is this not helping?
"There's countless studies on those topics." isn't anywhere an argument.
