How we make money

Well, we don't. Not yet at least. We keep membership free, don't sell member information and keep the site free of obnoxious advertisements. Our primary goal is not financial; it is to contribute to the good of the environment by helping people and businesses make little changes that, through a network effect, create big change and positive impact.

We do offset costs through limited paid sponsorships. We also let interested parties ask questions of, or learn from, the community (we keep your contact information private). And over time we may do more, such as provide premium subscription based services. But we promise to seek input from membership on any new fee-based features, always offer a free membership level, and will always stay committed to our privacy and security policy.

If you have ideas on how we can offset costs while staying true to our mission, please let us know by emailing us at feedback@virid.us.
