With Commons, anyone can lower their carbon footprint. Measure your emissions, get tailored advice on how to reduce them, and offset any that you can’t. Learn easy ways to live more sustainably and take the first step with advice from the experts.
Love this throw back brand (reminds me of 80s NASA work) — and the initiative. Well timed for Earth Day '23 as well.
Yes, we need a social platform that gamifies offsetting your carbon footprint! 🌱
Love how Commons makes it easy to understand where my emissions come from. Seeing how much travel and purchases contribute to climate change has allowed me to start making changes - like cutting the # of flights or taking only direct routes. And the new brand is great!
Hi Product Hunt, and thank you @chrismessina for hunting us!
I'm Sanchali, founder of Commons. We help you tap into the power of your spending to build a more sustainable world.
All of us have a carbon footprint. I started Commons after manually tracking and lowering mine over 6 years. I learned that our spending choices matter: I lowered my emissions by 30%, and saved about $2,000 a year, just by living more sustainably. However, I also learned just how difficult and complex the journey can be.
Together, our household spending influences 65% of global emissions. When we shift our collective spending, we influence companies. I started Commons to make it easy for people to see our carbon influence and lower our emissions.
With Commons, you can:
→ 💡 Measure Your Footprint
Automatically calculate the emissions of everything you buy.
→ 🍃 Offset Your Emissions
Balance out emissions you can't avoid by supporting verified climate projects.
→ 🏆 Build Your Sustainable Life
Get practical strategies to reduce emissions that fit your lifestyle.

Am a user and loving the new design! I feel like there is a lot of discussion about tracking and changing your carbon influence and Commons is an incredible platform to do that everyday in a powerful, fun and straightforward way. Tracking my footprint has been my main thing but am pretty excited and motivated when I see the Community updates and eager to dive into more advice from them and experts. Thank you Commons team!
Commons is the app I needed to 1) understand and 2) manage my carbon footprint. Loved the easy explanations and sense of community, highly recommend, and thank you Commons team!!!
It's sad that the app isn't available for download in my area, but I believe this is a worthy project. I think your execution is great, and I'm rooting for your next step! 🌏
Big fan of the product. It's been super helpful as I seek to better understand the environmental impact of my daily behaviors and ultimately reduce my personal carbon footprint. Highly recommend others check it out as well.
Really been enjoying Commons. It’s thoughtful about about providing insights and suggested changes that are realistic without shying away from ambitious, and it’s really made me think and make changes in my own actions with regard to climate footprint. The app itself is also improving frequently in the time I’ve used it; I’m excited to see what comes next.
