CSO Program
Verified Outrage Offsets™
Cap-and-trade for tantrums. Buy credits to neutralize a particularly wasteful freakout.
The Problem
Some overreactions cannot be prevented. A wedding speech goes wrong. A neighbor parks across two spots. A senior leadership team retreat is held outdoors. The emissions are real. The remorse, while sincere, is not a substitute for offsets.
How It Works
Calculate
Use our Tantrum Footprint Calculator (or a third-party-certified equivalent) to estimate the CO₂e of the incident in question. Round up.
Purchase credits
Each Verified Outrage Offset™ neutralizes 1 kg CO₂e and corresponds to a real-world reduction project — primarily reforestation and methane-capture programs operated by partner organizations.
Receive your certificate
A blockchain-anchored (we are working on this) certificate is issued in your name, suitable for framing, regifting, or quietly producing during family conversations.

Voices of Responsible Outrage
Eight CSO members share what this program means to their practice.
“I bought 40 kg of credits after the foreman's-meeting incident. The certificate is on the breakroom wall. The team has stopped bringing it up.”
Caldwell Briggs — Construction Foreman
“The methodology is auditable. I have audited it. The credits correspond to real reduction projects. I have visited two of them. They exist.”
Dr. Moira Petrescu — Cardiothoracic Surgeon
“I purchased offsets for the entire 2025 PTA season in advance. The board chair has commended my foresight. The board chair is me.”
Linda Morrissey — PTA Board Chair
“I include offset purchases in my pre-marital counseling recommendations. Every couple should plan ahead.”
Rev. Thomasina Oakes — Wedding Officiant
“Our annual offset spend is in the budget. It is a line item. It is not deferred. We hold ourselves accountable.”
Eleanor Whittaker — Head of Engineering
“I purchase credits monthly on behalf of family members who have not yet registered with the Campaign. They will thank me later. They will not have a choice.”
Priscilla Voss-Bingham — Estate Executor
“The certificate design has improved every year. The 2026 redesign is, in my professional opinion, the best certificate available in any offset market.”
Nina Cabrera — Creative Director
“Bought 12 kg after the Home Depot incident. The certificate came in a tube. The tube is now a pencil holder. Closed loop.”
Tony Mazetti — Contractor
