Hello guys! We are ForTomorrow. A non-profit climate protection start-up from Berlin. Our goal is to make Europe climate neutral before 2040. To achieve this, we want to reduce the individual annual CO2 footprint of all Europeans to less than one tonne. That is why we offer CO2 offsets for people. We offset CO2 by buying and cancelling EU emission rights. In this way, we force the big CO2 emitters to emit less CO2 in Europe—for example, coal power plants. We also plant sustainable mixed forests in Germany to filter CO2 from the air. You can find out more about us on our website: fortomorrow.eu. It is an honour for us to be part of this fantastic network. We are very much looking forward to talking to you and driving climate protection with you! Best, ForTomorrow

In October, we were able to make a big leap for climate protection in Europe. Two numbers we are particularly proud of: - 💸 For the first time, we were able to crack the 100,000 euro mark in monthly donations. Amazing! We want to sincerely thank everyone who supports our work at ForTomorrow. - 📜 We also set a new record for buying and cancelling emissions rights in one month: 920 units! That means that the industry in the EU will be forced to emit 920 tons less CO2. Together with all ForTomorrow supporters, we can already offset a total of over 16,000 tons of CO2. We do this by planting 31,314 trees and cancelling 9,339 EU emission rights. These numbers give us the motivation to solve the climate crisis. We look forward to continuing to drive climate protection forward in Europe – together with all the people who want to support us. P.S. You can always find the latest figures on our homepage: www.fortomorrow.eu/en

Admittedly, that sounds contradictory. Actually, it's simple. In Europe we have an official climate protection tool, the EU Emissions Trading. This legally regulates CO2 emissions in the European Union for many sectors—e.g. electricity generation, or intra-European air traffic. How much CO2 these sectors are allowed to emit is set by law under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. Like all free markets, it works on the basis of supply and demand. Companies buy or sell emission rights. If a company uses fewer emission rights, they are used elsewhere to emit CO2. For example: If you buy green electricity, that is of course good for you personally. Because you're not supporting coal powered electricity. A coal power plant then has to produce less electricity. But that also means the power plant needs fewer CO2 rights. Because coal power plants are included in EU emissions trading. But the CO2 rights do not simply disappear. Another company can buy them and use them to emit CO2. The emission rights just move from one place to another. So the total amount of CO2 in the EU does not go down at all if you switch to green electricity. Only the place where CO2 is emitted changes. What can we do about this together? How much CO2 is to be saved each year is determined in EU emissions trading. The EU reduces the number of CO2 rights available every year. With decreasing CO2 rights, polluters have to reduce their CO2 emissions every year. But CO2 emissions are being reduced too slowly. That's where you can jump in. With ForTomorrow, we buy emission rights and cancel them. In this way, we force large CO2 emitters to emit less CO2. Beat the system by using the system. This is an effective way to sustainably reduce CO2 emissions in Europe.

Thorough sensitization would be fundamental to curb the misinformation about the EU emissions trading.

It would be great if we could spread the understanding of EU emissions trading among the masses!

@Muhammad_Fahd_Khan I totally agree with you. Far too few people know about it. In my experience, once people understand the EU Emissions Trading, they immediately want to join us in cancelling emission rights. We need to explain EU Emissions Trading to the masses as quickly and effectively as possible.

Hey guys, we won the Planet Hero Award 2022! 🎉 A huge milestone for our ForTomorrow team. Thank you to everyone who supported us by voting! 🍀 What does the Planet Hero Award mean to us as ForTomorrow? With the Planet Hero Award, we will receive 90,000 euros. We will use this amount to effectively expand ForTomorrow as a brand. We are also pleased to be working together with Zurich Group Germany. Together we are driving climate protection forward in Europe! 🏆 What should you know about the Planet Hero Award? The Planet Hero Award was launched in 2021 by Zurich Group Germany. The patron of the award is climate ambassador and round the world sailor Boris Herrmann with his team Malizia. The prize is awarded for outstanding climate-promoting initiatives. The aim of the Planet Hero Award is to value and promote commitments that contribute to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, promoting biodiversity and protecting the oceans. The prize is endowed with up to 100,000 euros. Cool extra: for each winning project, 100 trees will be planted in the Zurich Forest. 🙌 The entire ForTomorrow team is now looking forward to using this momentum effectively. The prize brings us a good deal closer to shaping a 1.5-degree-compatible Europe! Find out more about the other winning projects

Very cool! How does it work technically? Mostly the part about taking away the rights of big polluters?
