Impact Totalizer
In our second season, we used Glad membership fees to remove:
of legacy greenhouse gas from our atmosphere.
Now that Season 2 has wrapped, it’s time to put your impact to work. We’ve pooled all membership fees, sponsorships, and extra contributions into the Season 2 Climate Pot.
,
All of which will be used to remove legacy greenhouse gas emissions at £0.25 per kg.
Funds Deployed
The Climate Pot is already at work. We’ve already put 16% of Season 2’s funds into trusted carbon removal projects - and the rest will follow soon. We're making sure every pound delivers maximum impact, and we’ll keep sharing the story as it unfolds.
In Season 2, the Glad Community supported these cleanup methods:
Biochar
Biochar is one of the safest, fastest, and most durable ways to remove carbon – and it comes with a bonus. As well as locking away carbon for centuries, it improves soil health, making it a win-win for the planet. Learn more.
Suppliers
Exomad Green is the world’s largest biochar producer. Based in Bolivia, they turn forestry residues into stable biochar that locks carbon away for the long term. Their work is certified by Puro.earth.
Restord is a biochar maker in Cornwall, UK. They convert wood waste into high-quality biochar. They follow CapChar's Biochar Carbon Code and their carbon removal claims are checked through an independent lifecycle analysis carried out by Tunley Environmental.

Direct Air Capture
Direct Air Capture (DAC) pulls carbon dioxide straight from the air using large fans and chemical reactions. The captured carbon dixoide is then stored underground or reused, offering a powerful solution with a tiny land footprint. Learn more.
Suppliers
Carbon Engineering / OXY Low Carbon Ventures is part of 1PointFive. Their Stratos plant in Ector County, Texas, uses direct air capture to remove CO₂. When fully running it aims to remove up to 500,000 tonnes each year. The project is still under development.

Enhanced Rock Weathering
Enhanced Rock Weathering speeds up a natural process that locks away carbon dioxide for good. By spreading crushed rock on farmland, we remove carbon dioxide from the air while improving soil health – a win-win for the planet. Learn more.
Suppliers
UNDO is a world leader in enhanced rock weathering. They have operations Scotland and Canada and their carbon removal method is verified by Puro.earth.

Biomass Sinking
Biomass Sinking locks away carbon by sinking plant material into deep, oxygen-free waters. This stops it from decomposing and releasing carbon dioxide back into the air, keeping carbon safely stored for thousands of years. Learn more.

Residual
In Season 2, we generated 24,440kg of greenhouse gas cleanup. We’ve committed 24,000kg, leaving a remainder of 440kg. This happens because we buy removal in whole tonnes. At £0.25 per kg, that’s £110 left over - which we’re rolling into Season 3 to keep the impact going.
How Glad makes money
For Season 2, our commission was 16%. Here’s how it works:
At the start of each Glad season:
We choose the greenhouse gas removal methods and set the mix for the season.
We lock in the price we pay suppliers (the Buy Price).
We add a commission to set the final price for members (the Sell Price).
Our commission varies with costs and exchange rates but never exceeds 20%.
Amplifying the movement
We use the commission to run Glad - building the platform, growing the community, and amplifying the movement. We’ll always be upfront about what we earn and aim to keep improving efficiency over time.
