Our projects
Effective climate protection is more than planting trees. This is why Exhale not only supports proven global carbon removal initiatives, or "Head" projects, as we call them. In addition to these, Exhale also funds local "Heart" projects. These initiatives promote a world worth living in, pushing for a more circular economy, local resilient food systems, protecting biodiversity, advancing clean energy and advocating for climate. In our easy process we will guide you to find the right mix matching your values and preferences.

Why exhale?
Leave your kids a world to stay. Climate change will cost future generations everything, with decision makers falling short of providing the funds needed today. At the same time, in the UK alone £5.5 trillion (source: Big Issue) will be passed on to the next generations over the next decades.
Exhale is empowering a generation to activate this powerful reserve, turning its legacy into action.
Personalised impact: Answer quick questions, then leave a legacy aligned with your values through carefully chosen climate projects. See the positive change you spark, starting now.
Beyond carbon offset: Fund certified CO2 removal initiatives and support local efforts promoting circular economies, sustainable food systems, and more. Make a difference beyond just numbers.
Flexible giving: Tailor your contributions to your lifetime impact aspirations and adjust anytime. Join a thriving community committed to positive change on a global scale.
Bob
I am very concerned about the changes in nature in my area due to recent storms and floods. That's why I want to take action so that I can leave a better world for my children.
Priya
We owe it to our children to leave behind a planet worth living on. Our generation is largely responsible for the state of our planet and at the same time have the means to bring about positive change.
Edith
When I look into the future, I get worried. What is the point of leaving money to my children and grandchildren if they no longer find a planet worth living on?

Is exhale a non-profit?We’re not, and here’s why: We have only a few years, not decades, to tackle global warming. That means we have to reach a lot of people really fast, following a strong business plan that focuses on making a positive impact. This way, we can do the most for the climate as quickly as possible. We allocate 80% of your subscription directly to climate projects that plant trees, protect rainforests, and remove carbon from the air. The remaining portion is used to run Exhale smoothly. This includes paying salaries, finding top-notch climate projects, and promoting our cause so more people can join in taking climate action. This enables us to hire top tech talent and put their skills to work in the fight against climate change.

Isn’t the government responsible for providing for us and future generations?While governments play a crucial role in shaping policies and regulations for the well-being of society, the responsibility for creating a sustainable future falls on all of us collectively. At Exhale, we believe that individual action is equally important in driving positive change. By joining our platform, you join forces with other people throughout the UK and become part of a powerful movement dedicated to making a difference on a larger scale.
