Show HN: Negative, Jewelry That Drives Demand for Direct Air Capture CO2

See that you're at Circuit Launch!
Anyways, like the idea, but thinking of the overall product and the mission as a whole:
1. Will the production of the beads produce a net positive/negative CO2 emissions? 2. How are you getting that CO2? 3. Is it safe (harmful if a child licks it?, etc.)?

Hey fellow Circuit Launcher! Appreciate your thoughtful questions.
1. Pretty much everything that we do today is a net positive CO2 emission. The products we buy need to have that carbon capture baked into the cost. Imagine if everything you bought was paying to remove the emissions it created, and even going carbon negative. We want to support the technologies that make this possible, and help other people learn that this technology exists.
2. Direct air capture
3. Yes, captured carbon dioxide is safe, it's in the form of a graphite powder.

Awesome project! Backed it.
Each Negative bracelet is made with carbon dioxide and pays for direct air capture technology to bury even more carbon dioxide underground. We want to show the path forward for real products that have a carbon impact.
Direct Air Capture is very stage early technology. If the campaign is successful, we might buy up the entire world's supply of DAC, demonstrating demand and pulling the price up to fund new efforts.
