When you pay an extra DKK 5 per ticket at Ticketbutler, the money actually goes to us at Climaider. We are a Danish company working to make real climate action easy and accessible.
The amount is a fixed DKK 5 regardless of the ticket price, and Ticketbutler does not earn anything from the collaboration.
When a ticket buyer agrees to donate DKK 5/ticket, climate projects are supported that reduce 40 kg of CO2 for every donation - or the equivalent of about 4 guests' carbon footprint.
Together with Ticketbutler, we want to give you the opportunity to make a small contribution that makes a big difference.
How does your money make a difference?
At Climaider, we follow the framework of either WWF's Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard. These are the two largest and most recognized standards for CO2 offsetting. They are independent third parties who make sure that projects actually make the difference that is promised. This is our and your guarantee that together we are offsetting your share of the CO2 emissions from your participation.
Whichprojects is it that your money goes to?
The money goes to two projects:
Eden Reforestation Projects, planting mangrove trees in Madagascar. On an area of 183 hectares, we are planting approximately 2.5 million trees over the next few years.
Manufacturing and distributing efficient stoves in East Africa. By subsidizing the stoves sufficiently, we help families who cut down forests to cook over an open fire to get a stove that burns much cleaner. The stove uses biomass that was previously rotting to burn, replacing the need to cut down trees. At the same time, the stove burns as cleanly as a modern gas stove and therefore significantly improves the standard of living.
Why is it 5 DKK?
We have calculated the CO2 emissions of 39 different Ticketbutler events to arrive at an average price per participating guest. The calculations include operations, catering and transportation. There are also CO2 emissions associated with a number of other activities, but since it has not been possible to get good enough data on this, we have "captured" it with an added uncertainty. Based on the calculations, it was not exactly DKK 5 per participant - in fact, it was lower. However, with the DKK 5, we are sure that we are not compensating too little, just as a buffer in the price ensures that we can keep a fixed price level even if there are ongoing price increases on the projects.
How much money goes to the projects?
Ticketbutler earns nothing from your carbon offset. It's an offer from their side - not to make money, but to do something good for the climate.
For Climaider, however, project selection is one of the things we spend the most time on. We want to make sure that we always work with the very best and most credible projects. That's why we charge a fee for carbon offsetting. When you pay DKK 5, we take 10% - that's half a crown. Typically, we actually charge about twice as much, but with this collaboration, Ticketbutler's ambition has been to make as big a difference for the climate as possible - and therefore we have agreed to charge a significantly lower fee than usual.
If you want to know even more, you are always welcome to write to us at hello@climaider.com. We will do everything we can to help you in the best possible way.
