Except there is now a middleman that also wants part of the cash. The only advantage I see is that it's impossible for one of the CFO's bootlickers to kill the payment without anyone else knowing.

Edit: apparently digitalhumani doesn't cream off.

Hi, Jonathan here, founder of the RaaS (Reforestation as a Service) at DigitalHumani.com

Our solution is 100% free. We are a group of IT-oriented volunteers concerned about climate change, and we pay ourselves for the costs of the solution (which is quite cheap though).

Our RaaS (Reforestation as a Service) API was built because most reforestation organizations do not have APIs. These organizations know lot about trees, climate and reforestation, less so about IT. We help them get the money they need to plant the trees (1$ per tree) by providing the API for free.

The API is used in lots of ways right now by our clients: Planting a tree when someone subscribes to a newsletter, buys something, refer a friend for a mobile app, fills a survey, charge their electric car, etc.

It is much easier for our clients to just choose a reforestation project they want to donate to and add the call to the API in their code.
