401k & Climate
A number of climate-friendly and fossil-free funds exist, but many of them are ETFs, which are not allowed on the major 401(k) and 403(b) platforms. There are also "ESG" funds available on 401(k) and 403(b) platforms, but most of them invest in fossil fuel companies, because ESG is not the same as climate-friendly. Sphere offers a climate-friendly investment option that is fossil-free, and that can be added to 401(k) platforms. It checks all the boxes that employers look for when adding funds to their 401(k) and 403(b) lineups.

Seaweed to Materials
Sargassum, a seaweed that once grew in an isolated part of the Atlantic Ocean, has started to bloom out of control and overwhelm beach ecosystems across the Caribbean. It accumulates on beach ecosystems and decomposes which releases methane gas into our atmosphere, leeches heavy metals into the groundwater, hurts tourism, and blocks sea turtle babies from reaching the ocean. Carbonwave transforms Sargassum into valuable materials, harnessing the potential of this abundant seaweed while mitigating climate change and protecting our environment.
