Our story
Turning everyday spending into clean energy.
We turn everyday spending into clean energy for schools and hospitals. Doing good that saves you money.
Our belief
Doing well and doing good can be the same thing.
We founded Dyme with the belief that the biggest gift we can leave to the next generation is a healthy planet.
We've seen firsthand the impact of climate change. Whether it's the devastating wildfires in California, or cities in the Global South where pollution leaves millions with breathing problems, the cost of inaction is clear and rising.
Why clean energy
Solar: the answer hiding in plain sight.
There are many ways to reduce air pollution, from using less fossil fuel, to tree planting, to carbon offsets, to solar. Cleaning up emissions after the fact is playing catch-up, while avoiding them from the start is simpler and cheaper.
Most electricity still comes from burning coal, gas and oil. Replacing that with solar means cleaner air, lower energy costs for communities, and less carbon in the atmosphere, all from the same investment.
Why solar
The cheapest source of electricity in human history.
Solar panels turn sunlight into electricity with no combustion and no emissions. Over the last decade the cost has fallen by more than 90%, saving communities money they can put toward jobs and services. It cuts the pollution that causes asthma and heart disease, and it's available now, not decades away.

The model
Doing good now saves you money.
That's why we built Dyme: so every purchase helps build more solar, without members paying extra. In fact, our members pay less.
We use the classic wholesaler model. We keep our operating costs low, buy wholesale, negotiate private rates and pass those savings to you. We make a small profit and use part of it to fund solar projects for schools and hospitals.
See where the savings come fromStarting with travel
Travel makes the stakes personal.
Over 1.4 billion international trips are taken every year, generating around 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Travel also brings the effects of climate change into clear sight: the bleached reef, the shrinking glacier, the wildfire smoke hanging over a city.
The travel industry recognized this early, offering passengers the option to offset their flight emissions at checkout. We agree with the instinct, but we didn't think travelers should have to pay extra for it.
So we use the profits from each booking to fund solar projects that reduce emissions for decades, without you having to opt in or do anything differently.
The vision
Travel is just the start.
Our vision is to bring the Dyme approach to every time you shop, take a rideshare, or go to a restaurant. Across billions of dollars of purchases, that could cut millions of tons of CO₂ and save schools and hospitals hundreds of millions of dollars on electricity bills.
More members means more solar built. More solar means cheaper electricity for more of the schools and hospitals that need it most, and the cycle keeps growing.

Tons of CO₂ a year avoided if 1 million travelers booked with Dyme
One million Dyme travelers would avoid an estimated 1.48 to 2.54 million tons of CO₂ a year.
