Heatwaves in British Columbia deluges in Europe, pipes freezing in Texas. Our reality with climate change is collectively shifting and happening globally. Today’s guest is Jean-Louis Warnholz, Co-Founder and CEO of Future, a fintech company that is encouraging carbon action as a smart economic choice by providing its members with incentives and five percent cashback for shopping secondhand, taking public transit, switching to EVs, and more. Jean-Louis knew he wanted to lower his household’s carbon footprint when he saw firsthand the impact of climate change when he was working in Kenya and Ghana.
Jean-Louis speaks with Marco on why planting trees is not what it’s cut out to be, why climate action can start as an individual attainable shift using the FutureCard, and how a sustainable business can be built without relying on digital ads successfully. With over 20,000 users in the U.S. and counting, Future is showing us that the fintech industry can be disrupted one recycled plastic card at a time in favour of climate action.
