Every update made by Alipay can always surprise people. Recently, Ant Financial announced the launch of its carbon account. The first phase of its carbon account was designed as an ant forest Philanthropy Action. Simply put, users log on to Alipay, join the Ant Forest philanthropy operation to get a virtual sapling. Every day, when this tree grows up, we will plant a real tree in the real world. Is it a good service? Let's take a closer look at Alipay Ant Forest together with the script house editor!
What is Alipay Ant Forest?
If users are walking, Subway, online payment of water, electricity, and gas fees, online payment of traffic tickets, online registration, online ticketing, and other behaviors, the corresponding carbon emissions will be reduced, it can be used to raise a virtual tree in Alipay. When the tree grows up, public welfare organizations, environmental protection enterprises, and other ant ecosystem partners can buy user trees and plant a solid tree in a specific region.
If you want to pay the electricity bill, both the travel and payment documents will generate carbon emissions. Now, join the emission reduction activities, in Alipay, you can use your finger to replace the emissions produced by traffic emissions and paper consumption. The resulting emission reduction can be used to recharge your carbon account.
What is the use of Alipay Ant Forest?
The carbon account will be committed to creating the world's largest low-carbon life measurement, trading, and sharing platform, which not only allows people to record the low-carbon green footprint, it can also form people's green emission reduction activities to form a carbon asset trading account. If each person completes three times: once a day, one kilometer walk to work to replace other transportation modes; the water, electricity, and gas fee is paid online once a month, and 5 Alipay documents are used in supermarkets every week to eliminate paper documents, which can reduce the daily displacement by 142 GB.
Ant Financial's green financial approach is a technology-driven innovation that inspires everyone's awareness of emission reduction and environmental protection. If 0.45 billion Alipay users can do this, the total annual emission reduction can be equivalent to the forestry carbon sink of about 41 thousand square kilometers of trees and forests created in Northeast China. The afforestation area is equivalent to the area of half Daxinganling.
