It’s being touted as “climate action in your pocket”, and the Doconomy site says “Our non-plastic, biodegradable DO card tracks the CO2 emissions generated from our transactions and then displays that data through a simple app.” The site goes on to say that this is a partnership not only with credit giant Mastercard but under the authority of the United Nations as well.
