Personal CO2 Removal as a Service

Maybe I didn't read the site thoroughly enough but... how do we know that they are doing their part of the bargain? How do we/they measure how much carbon is effectively removed from the atmosphere?

My thoughts too. How do we know it's not just a website? An annual, independent auditor report would be nice, at least confirming their number of subscribers and estimating the capacity of their chemical process.

I don't think it's technically hard on their end - we totally have the science required to estimate how much their process captures.
