No. The artwork expresses the future you most identify as needing to be built; it doesn't change the project, the price or the number of credits. Choose your favorite, or let us pick one for you.

Two credits from the same verified batch of organic waste, retired to your account: a carbon credit for the methane reduction and a recycling credit for the waste turned into compost. The carbon credit offsets that much of your own emissions: one tonne of CO₂e per credit, or the exact fraction you buy. The recycling credit offsets the same mass of your own waste and makes no climate claim. At least 80% of every sale is allocated to the people and businesses who did the work, including those who separate the waste at the source, the haulers who collect it, the facilities that sort and compost it, and the integrators whose software records each step. Amounts are allocated first and paid out under our Rewards Distribution Policy.

Not on its own. Your purchase offsets the amount you bought, not your footprint as a whole. "Carbon neutral" is a claim about everything you do, not about one purchase: what it means differs by country, and making it responsibly requires a complete analysis of your activities. We advise against using the term.

Food scraps and other organic waste release methane as they rot in landfills. Composting projects in our network actively divert that waste and treat it with microorganisms under aerobic conditions, so the great majority of that methane never forms. Each carbon credit represents one metric ton of CO₂e of that reduction, and the records are public in the Carrot Registry.

Your payment is confirmed first, and your credits are retired in a separate step after that. You can follow both on your order confirmation page, where your receipt and the link to the public record appear as soon as they're ready.
