The problem
Every video you stream, every AI question you ask, every photo that syncs runs on a data centre burning real electricity. That cost is invisible — and most "green" promises online can't be checked by anyone.
Today
Electricity used by data centres each year
That's more power than the whole of France uses in a year — just to keep the internet running.
The raw data
By 2030
Where that's heading in about four years
More than double today's use, driven mainly by AI.
The raw data
What you see
How much of this is visible to everyday users
You stream, chat and scroll — and never see the energy behind it.
The raw data
In short: the internet already uses as much electricity as a large country, and that's on track to double. Every click adds a little pollution — but almost nobody sees that cost, and almost nobody pays for it.

Real trees. Real recovery. Verified every month.
How it works
One commitment, one monthly fee. Clean Compute handles the planting, the ocean-waste recovery, and the reporting — so being certified means real work is actually happening.
Tell us about your platform and confirm your subscribed user count. Subscribed users are your active paying subscribers — not free users, not trials.
We review your application and verify your reported figure, then lock in the fixed commitment: 1 tree planted and 1 lb of ocean waste removed per subscribed user, every month.
Your first payment activates your certification the same day, with your first month's impact funded immediately and your badge live from that moment.
Tree project details arrive immediately, ocean recovery locations within ~2 weeks, and cleanup completion within 1–2 months — then every month on an ongoing cycle.
How impact is verified
Ocean impact is reported as Funded → Scheduled → Recovered, and is never shown as removed before the Recovered stage.
$49.99/mo platform fee + $2 per subscribed user, per month. Cancel any time.
The proof chain
Skeptical? Good. That's who we built this for.
You confirm your subscribed user count monthly. One number, one click.
Trees and ocean recovery are funded with established partner organizations. Every order is receipted.
Every tree and every pound is assigned to exactly one client. Totals must reconcile or the month doesn't close.
Locations, species, planting photos, and recovery records arrive every cycle.
Your dashboard and monthly report carry the evidence. Documentation is available for independent audit on request.
Partner projects
Impact is delivered through established, verified projects run by our reforestation and recovery partners — community-led, monitored, and documented. These projects are examples of the verified work our partner network delivers across Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe.
KenyaCommunity-led mangrove planting rebuilding one of the country's most valuable coastal defenses and marine habitats.
TanzaniaHelping farming communities adopt agroforestry that restores land while securing food and income.
BoliviaCombating deforestation in the Bolivian Amazon with agroforestry buffers that protect standing forest.
IndiaRestoring forest habitat around a national park region critical to endangered wildlife.
United StatesReplanting forests lost to increasingly severe wildfires.
FranceSupporting recovery of forests damaged by insects, fire, disease, and drought.

Footprint figures are industry averages. Sequestration is a lifetime estimate for trees that reach maturity, not an annual offset — Clean Compute does not sell carbon credits or make carbon-neutral claims.
1 tree + 1 lb of ocean waste, per user, per month
Every subscribed user funds a planted tree and a pound of waste pulled out of the ocean, every single month. Here's what that scales to.

Transparency note
Our recovery partners prioritize intercepting ocean-bound waste at coastlines and waterways before it enters the water — roughly 100x more cost-effective than open-ocean harvesting, meaning every dollar removes dramatically more waste.
Ocean impact is reported as Funded → Scheduled → Recovered. Nothing is ever shown as removed before the Recovered stage.

Clean Compute
A tree + a pound of ocean waste
Each tree is planted with a verified reforestation partner and, over its lifetime, is estimated to sequester roughly 50–100 kg of CO₂ as it matures.
Every subscribed user also funds the removal of one pound of plastic and waste from oceans, rivers, and coastlines through our recovery partners.
1,000 subscribed users becomes 12,000 trees and 12,000 lbs of waste recovered in year one — a measurable record your brand helped create.
The verified badge
Once accredited, you receive a badge that links to your live verification page — confirming your accreditation status, your commitment, and your verification ID. Your impact numbers stay private to you.
What you can say
“For every subscribed user, we plant a tree and remove a pound of ocean waste, every month.”
Not a carbon credit · Not a carbon-neutral claim
Certification includes approved claim language for your site and marketing — so your team always knows exactly what you can say.
Before you commit
Every badge links to a live verification page anyone can check.

Clean Compute certifies online platforms that fund verified environmental work every month, in proportion to their subscribed users: one tree planted and one pound of ocean waste removed per subscribed user, per month. The badge shows you meet a public, auditable standard — it is not a carbon credit or a carbon-neutral claim.
No. The rates you join at are locked for the life of your active membership. Any future price changes apply to new members only.
Subscribed users = your active paying subscribers. Not free users, not trials. It is the number your billing system reports at the start of each cycle.
You confirm your subscribed user count once a month — one number, one click. We never access your systems, your customers, or your revenue data.
It's a flat rate: 1 tree and 1 lb of ocean waste per subscribed user, per month. There are no tiers to configure. If you have 1,000 subscribed users, that's 1,000 trees and 1,000 lbs of ocean waste removed that month.
All certified platforms' impact is delivered through Clean Compute's verified monthly impact pool with vetted reforestation and ocean recovery partners. Every tree and every pound is allocated to exactly one client in our ledger, every purchase is receipted, and partner documentation is retained and available for independent audit on request.
A flat $49.99 per month platform & certification fee, plus $2 per subscribed user per month. The $2 funds the tree, the ocean waste removal, verification, and reporting. No setup fees, cancel anytime.
We work with vetted reforestation organisations and ocean- and river-waste recovery partners. Trees are planted through verified reforestation projects — geo-located, species-documented, with photo and project reporting every cycle. Recovery partners prioritise intercepting ocean-bound waste at coastlines and waterways before it enters the water.
Most applications are reviewed within 3–5 business days. Your first payment activates your certification the same day, and your first month's impact is funded immediately. Tree project details arrive immediately, ocean recovery locations within ~2 weeks, and cleanup completion within 1–2 months. Ocean impact is reported as Funded → Scheduled → Recovered and is never displayed as removed before the Recovered stage.
Every accredited platform appears in our public registry, and your badge links to a live verification page confirming your accreditation and commitment. Your impact numbers stay private to you — your dashboard includes ready-made social, PDF, and email exports so you can share your trees and ocean impact with your customers whenever and however you choose.
No — and we'd ask you not to. Clean Compute doesn't sell carbon credits or certify offsets. What you can accurately say is that you fund a verified tree and a pound of ocean waste removal for every subscribed user, every month, with estimated CO₂ sequestration over the trees' lifetimes. Certification includes approved claim language so your team always knows exactly what you can say.
Your commitment scales with it. If subscribed users grow, the next cycle funds more; if they drop, the next cycle adjusts down. You only ever fund the subscribed users you actually have.
Three layers. Every monthly order is receipted at purchase with established partner organizations that have years of operating history and millions of trees planted. Our allocation ledger assigns every tree and pound to exactly one client — totals must reconcile or the month doesn't close. And every cycle we receive project-level documentation — locations, species, planting photos, recovery records — which flows into your dashboard. Partner documentation and receipts are available for independent audit on request.
We work with vetted, established reforestation and ocean-recovery organizations running verified projects across Africa, Southeast Asia, South America, and beyond. We keep the certification supplier-agnostic so we can always direct funds wherever verified impact-per-dollar is highest, and add or change partners without affecting your certification. Full partner documentation is available to clients and auditors on request.
The $2 funds the tree, the pound of ocean waste, and the verification, reporting, and dashboard infrastructure around them. The deliverable is fixed and auditable: 1 tree and 1 lb per subscribed user, every month, receipted — you're buying delivered, verified, reportable impact plus the certification that lets you talk about it safely.
It's permanent. Every tree planted and pound recovered during your membership stays planted and recovered — cancelling stops future cycles, never past impact. Your verification page simply shows the certification as inactive from that point.
Greenwashing is vague claims without verification — this is built as the opposite. A fixed, public, per-user commitment. Monthly signed attestation. Receipted purchases. An allocation ledger. Approved claim language that prohibits carbon-neutral claims. A badge that can be revoked and verified in one click. It's the sustainability claim your legal team will like most.
