🔴 EXTREME Impact: Independent research (Hugging Face Dec 2025) shows reasoning models use 30-500x more energy than standard models. DeepSeek R1 increases from 50 Wh to 7,626 Wh when reasoning is enabled.
Cloud Infrastructure: We calculate emissions from your AWS, GCP, and Azure usage based on regional energy grids and PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness).
AI & ML Operations: Different AI tools have vastly different compute requirements. Claude has the best eco-efficiency (0.886 DEA score). Image generation uses 3x more than text. Critical finding (Dec 2025): Reasoning models like o3 and DeepSeek R1 use 30-500x more energy than standard queries based on independent Hugging Face research.
Remote Work Impact: Video calls, file sharing, VPNs, and collaboration tools all contribute to your digital footprint.
Development Operations: CI/CD pipelines, testing environments, and container orchestration add to your impact.
Our Three-Pillar Offset Model
20% Verified Carbon Credits Immediate retirement through CNaught-certified projects
40% Community Projects Fund renewable energy co-ops in data center regions (you vote quarterly on which projects)
40% Advocacy & Organizing IRL events, municipal partnerships, and data center accountability campaigns
Why This Matters
Data centers consume 1% of global electricity. Traditional offsets send money to middlemen with no community benefit. We're different: your offset creates economic leverage by funding projects that generate credits, then advocating for AI companies to purchase those credits from the communities they impact.
Methodology developed with independent research (Hugging Face AI Energy Score Dec 2025, "How Hungry is AI?" May 2025, EPRI) and real-world usage patterns. Provider claims used with noted caveats.
