Who we are

Carbon on invoices is a project launched in October 2022 by Réconcilions-nous! (or R!): a group of around twenty volunteers of varying opinions who want to be a ‘lobby for the collective interest’ on essential and difficult issues, trapped in controversy.

Our method is to discuss controversial issues without getting angry: not (just) for the sake of discussion, but to invent consensual actions in the collective interest and push them forward in the name of the collective interest, alongside special interest lobbies and without prejudice against them. To emerge from controversy on top.

We were very lucky with our first project on transition, as we gradually invented (along with others, we discovered as the research progressed) a method that could make the transition a success. And there’s still more to discover!

Our support

Our names are not secret, they are here. We are most proud of the names of our supporters. You can find here the names of those who supported our first appeal. We are preparing a second appeal for the Transmission label for October, with the same and new supporters. And we’re also proud of the teachers who helped us build our training tools and who are opening them up to their students (here).

And where does the money come from?

R! and therefore Carbon on invoices limit their financial needs to the bare minimum, to maintain their independence (and simplify their lives). We cover our few living expenses thanks to a few volunteers. If the need arose, we would call on the hundreds of people who have supported us over the last few years and left their contact details (we’ve never done that yet).
