# Fall/Winter ‘23 Update

#### 🛒 Add to cart: Climate Action


When it comes to direct, personal, ground-level climate action, many people find it’s **too inconvenient or difficult to participate**.  Throw web3, crypto, and ReFi into the conversation, and you’ve lost even more of the most well-intentioned folks.

But what’s more convenient and ingrained than online shopping?  Introducing [**the BETTER Climate Store:**](https://betterclimatestore.com) Climate action from the comfort of your couch.  Launched in September, thanks in part to funding from Gitcoin, the **BETTER Climate Store** proceeds go toward powering the **BETTER Climate Fund**, a decentralized, community-driven endowment supporting climate positive projects.  What’s more, the store provides an easy web2 and ecommerce onboarding mechanism for those interested in the ReFi and crypto space.
