Our Story
About Dyme
We turn everyday spending into clean energy for schools and hospitals. Doing good that saves you money.
Turning Everyday Spending Into Clean Energy
We founded Dyme with the belief that the biggest gift we can leave to the next generation is a healthy planet. Doing well and doing good can be the same thing.
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.
Renewables: The Answer Hiding in Plain Sight
There are many ways to reduce air pollution, from using less fossil fuels, to tree planting to carbon offsets to renewable energy. Cleaning up emissions after the fact is playing catch-up, while avoiding them from the start is simpler and cheaper.
Renewables are faster, cheaper, and cleaner. 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.
The Cheapest Source of Electricity in Human History
~30%
of all global greenhouse gas emissions come from electricity generation — more than any other sector
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity with no combustion and no emissions. Over the last decade, the cost has fallen by more than 90%. Solar is now the cheapest source of electricity in human history, saving communities money they can put toward jobs and services. It’s cleaner, cutting the pollution that causes asthma and heart disease. And it’s available right now, not decades away.

How Dyme Works
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 that to fund solar projects for schools and hospitals.

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 our approach goes further. 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.
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, we could reduce millions of tons of CO₂, save schools and hospitals hundreds of millions of dollars on electricity bills.
Every Good Act Compounds
More members means more solar built. More solar means cheaper electricity for more schools and hospitals that need it most. Lower costs mean more communities benefit, and the cycle keeps growing.
If one million travelers booked their trips through Dyme, we could reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 1.48 to 2.54 million tons annually.

Hotel room nights occupied globally each year
4.5B
Air passengers annually worldwide
2.54M
Tons of CO₂ reduced annually with just 1 million Dyme travelers
