Across the globe, about 2.5 billion people use an inefficient and unventilated wood or charcoal stove for cooking, which is a leading cause of premature death in developing countries and a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions.
By signing up for an Untonne plan, we help fund clean cooking projects that cut indoor air and climate pollution creating a double win: immediate health and safety benefits for families in need, and less greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
Your Untonne Plan will fund clean cooking projects and cut emissions equal to all or part of the average American’s carbon footprint. In addition, Untonne funds projects that have the potential to restore degraded lands and drawdown emissions that have already been released.
By using natural ecosystems to draw down emissions, Untonne aims to restore habitat for all life too. To date, Untonne and its participants have funded the planting of 3,000 trees! We look to strengthen our impact through our participation in 1% For The Planet in 2024 and beyond.
At Untonne, we want to not only solve climate change for the next generation, but do it in a way that creates solutions for people with the least resources to adapt to climate change.
We select high-quality carbon reduction projects that have co-benefits in developing nations, like reducing women and children’s exposure to toxic air quality right in their own home.
We seek to restore ecosystems and create wildlife habitat with reforestation projects that draw down emissions we’ve already released.
As someone who has lived in Uganda, I have seen firsthand how much smoke can occupy homes from cooking with an open fire several times a day. I care deeply about taking action to help those less fortunate than me, and feel good that my Untonne plan will contribute to helping the larger climate change movement and the individual lives of the world's poorest people at the same time.

I do what I can to address my carbon footprint on an individual level, but I also know that there are emissions I’m responsible for that I can’t easily stop. And while I sometimes lose hope about solving climate change in its entirety, I feel better knowing that I’m living out my values by doing what I can, including participating in solutions like Untonne.
