The World’s First Mammal to Go Extinct Due to Climate Change
Australia has revealed that one of their animals has become the world’s first mammal to be extinct due to "human-induced climate change”.
The “Bramble Cay Melomys”, as they were known, have become extinct due to ocean inundation from rising sea levels over the past decade, which led to dramatic habitat loss.
This terrible discovery proves that if temperatures continue to rise, nearly 8% of all species worldwide could become extinct. We can’t take this lightly and we can’t wait any longer. Let’s take action now with Poseidon.

Chasing the Next Horizon
What’s next with Poseidon? We are focusing all of our efforts on the development of the reduce platform, client onboarding and revenue growth.
This means that we are canceling the remaining public fundraises in order to move forward with the rest of our work.
“This is an exciting time for the Poseidon team, our clients, and our partners. For any young organization, growth is a balancing act. We’ve worked hard over the past 21 months to put ourselves into a position to scale our offering globally and empower everyone to address their social and environmental impacts. Transitioning away from crowdfunding is a clear indication that we’re ready for that next step.” - Laszlo Giricz, Poseidon’s founder and CEO.

Control Your Impact with Poseidon
How can businesses prove that their 'offsetting' efforts in favor of the environment are actually having the impact they need?
Unfortunately, there is no central office that has control over this, which makes many businesses hesitant to support climate positive projects.
The solution is here! Poseidon is bringing blockchain into the mix to create a global and immutable public record that tracks the whole offset lifecycle from beginning to end.

Top 5 Endangered Animals - Gorillas
We’re reaching the top of the Most Endangered Animals. Who would've guessed the Number 2 on the list: Gorillas.
Unfortunately, two out of five gorilla subspecies are currently classified as Critically Endangered and Endangered by the IUCN since 1996. There are only 200-300 Cross River Gorillas left in the wild, and 900 Mountain Gorillas.
The jungle wouldn’t be the same without them, that’s why we have to do something about it. Poseidon aims to encourage everyday people to give back to the planet with every purchase and help the environment.
Tomorrow we’ll reveal the Number 1 spot of the list. Stay tuned!

Are We Really Paying Extra?
Do you think that you are paying extra when you add carbon credits to your purchases?
Think about this way. You are only paying a few pennies for every product you buy in favor of a better future for the planet. It’s actually a discount from paying way more in the future when the damages caused by climate change start getting to us.
If we worry about our personal health, why wouldn’t we worry about the health of the planet? A few pennies today will save us many dollars tomorrow.
Our future doesn’t work if the planet doesn’t work.

What does it mean to be Climate Positive?
When you buy a product, let’s say a pair of shoes, they are responsible for a number of carbon emissions that are necessary to make them. If at the same time, you are buying more carbon credits from Poseidon, you have effectively turned that purchase into climate positive.
That way, you ensure that you give back to the planet more than you take when you buy your everyday products.
