CO2e-neutrality pledge
Alphabet (Google) has abandonned their CO2e-neutrality pledge and schedule, because of the energy cost of AI.
Now is the time to shine for Proton, by taking the vacant place that is offered!!
It would be extremely popular, especially in Europe, and would push a lot of climate-conscious people from other service providers towards Proton.

People are ****** off about this CO2 neutrality stuff. How much pollution comes from Europe? 3%? How much from china? 30%?
It's such unnecessary stuff and imo a big economic hold back like we see in all european countries

Would it be "extremely popular"? I am from Europe and many are fed up and even annoyed by all the posturing about CO2 emissions.
Also.. how exactly is this supposed to work? As long as the company uses electricity and buys servers.. **** as long as it has people who breath oxygen and produce CO2, how is it supposed to be CO2-neutral? Do you want them to pay for CO2 capture?

I agree! This would be really cool to see Proton commit to!

Other major technology service providers have made concrete commitments to tackle their emissions, with for example, Google pledging to run on carbon-free energy by 2030 and Microsoft pledging to become Carbon Neutral by 2030 and then Carbon Negative, taking out all it's historical emissions by 2050.
Proton emphasises using only hydro power in its initial datacentre, but I haven't seen any evidence of a concrete commitment to tackle its own emissions. With Climate Change a burning issue and other tech organisations rolling out their own climate priorities, can Proton also release a positive timeframe that its users and owners can get behind?
