Tickets and the planet
Why 1.5% of every EARTH ticket goes to carbon removal
THE EARTH MOVIE is a satire about a planet that forgot what matters. It felt wrong to sell tickets to that movie without doing something for the actual planet. So 1.5% of all ticket sales goes to removing carbon dioxide from the air, through Stripe Climate. Updated November 9, 2026.
It costs you nothing extra. It comes out of our share of each ticket.
It funds permanent carbon removal, not short-term offsets.
How it works
Where the money comes from: our share of each ticket. You pay $2.99 for a presale ticket, the same as you would without the pledge.
Where it goes: Stripe Climate, a program from our payment processor, Stripe, that lets businesses send a percentage of their revenue to carbon removal. Stripe says those purchases are facilitated by Frontier, which buys carbon removal from early-stage companies.
What kind of removal: Frontier focuses on permanent removal, meaning carbon stored for more than 1,000 years. Its site describes it as an advance market commitment to buy $1.8 billion of permanent carbon removal by 2040, with companies including Stripe, Google and Shopify among its members and partners (as of November 9, 2026).
What it isn't: it isn't a charity donation, and it isn't tax deductible for you or for us. It also doesn't change what your ticket is: a ticket to watch a movie.
