How does it work?
Living your best life while also taking care of the planet can be complicated.
Things like driving up a canyon to watch a beautiful sunset while enjoying a tasty meal come with so many unintended consequences, consequences like air pollution and waste.
Econus makes consumption sustainable by empowering you to offset the unintended consequences of the things you buy.
Buy a tank of gas for your drive up the canyon -> donate your spare change from that purchase to an organization researching electric vehicles to make them more affordable for the average consumer, or use it to buy carbon offsets.
Send your spare change from that tasty meal to an organization developing revolutionary new packaging or meatless alternatives.

* We’ve partnered with a donor advised fund (DAF) to handle all donation distributions.
Our partner will deduct from any donation: (i) the platform fee based upon your subscription level to be sent back to The Active Consumer (Econus), and (ii) a fee equal to three-and-a-half percent (3.5%) of your Donation before disbursing the remaining amount to a charitable organization.
Our DAF partner is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit. As such, all or part of your donation may be tax deductible as a charitable contribution. Please check with your tax advisor.
See our Terms and Conditions, sections 6 and 7, for more information on this partnership.
