      "Consumers want to make more sustainable choices, but it's difficult to know which products and services are actually good for the planet. This lack of transparency makes it hard for people to reduce their environmental impact. Traditional banking and payment systems don't offer ways to track or offset carbon emissions, making it difficult to be eco-conscious during everyday transactions."
