Alex Price is CTO and Co-Founder of Ecologi. A company I’ve been a fan of for years.
Alex saw a unique opportunity when he co-founded Ecologi to combine his passion for climate activism with technology.
Ecologi makes positive climate action, simple and affordable for individuals and businesses all over the world. They calculate their carbon footprint and use their money to fund reforestation and carbon reduction projects around the planet providing them with real time updates on their impact. So for as little as £5 per month a person can offset their carbon footprint.
