    This site wants my email if I want to learn anything, which I don’t trust. And this:

    1 VOTE
    Can have an impact greater than your carbon footprint based on the climate policies your elected official enacts

    smells like carbon offsets but through voting instead of donating money.

    I don’t know if these are actual red flags or just unfortunate framing, because they’re not getting an email address from me.

      Nah. Its about actually showing up because a quite large fraction of US environmentalists haven’t been doing even that

        Do you have a source for that? If it’s behind the email wall of the website I can’t see it.

        Is this literally just a website to get environmentalists to vote? If so then teasing people with secret knowledge to reduce your carbon impact if you just give them your email when it’s actually an election ad campaign is misleading.
