Opening: Put it in a nutshell
Der CO2Fund offers a WIN-WIN-WIN concept
- primarily for our environment,
- for the company that can make it's commitment public and appeal to (a new generation of) customers and
- probably for your investment that could compensate or even exceed your membership fees.
Three good reasons to take action now.

Closing Remarks
An important feature of CO2Fund’s concept is that the regular membership fees are also used as a trigger to get investors into the CO2 Compensation Coin. The membership fee itself is leveraged in this way.
The fact that the projects have to resell the coin ensures a healthy circulation.
