Climate Action Badge: Turn Your Website Traffic Into Real Environmental Impact
What if your website could plant trees, capture carbon, clean the ocean, or support a charity — just from people visiting it? With the Climate Action Badge, every time your page views hit a threshold you choose, real impact is triggered automatically. Free to add, no coding needed.
What is the Climate Action Badge?
The Climate Action Badge is a small, beautiful widget you add to your website with a single code snippet. It counts your page views and, when they reach a threshold you set, automatically triggers real-world environmental impact — trees planted, carbon captured, ocean waste removed, or money donated to charity.
You set the threshold — every time page views reach that number, impact is triggered automatically and the counter resets. It's completely hands-free after setup. Built by 1ClickImpact, the badge works on any website — whether you're a blogger, small business, e-commerce store, SaaS company, or nonprofit.
Four ways to make impact from your website
Choose the impact type that matters most to you and your audience. Hover each badge to see the interaction.
Plant Trees
Support reforestation with verified tree planting worldwide. Choose regular or food-bearing trees that support local communities.
Capture Carbon
Permanently remove CO₂ from the atmosphere through direct air capture, enhanced weathering, and biomass carbon storage.
Clean Ocean Waste
Remove plastic, fishing nets, and debris from the ocean. Protect marine life and restore coastal ecosystems.
Donate to Charity
Facilitate donations to any cause, charity, or nonprofit on behalf of your website visitors. Choose the organization that aligns with your values.
Also available in dark mode
How it works: 4 simple steps
No coding experience needed. If you can paste a snippet into your website, you can make an impact.
Sign up and create a badge
Create a free account and configure your first Climate Action Badge. Choose your impact type, set an impression threshold, and pick a theme.
Add the snippet to your website
Copy the embed code and paste it into your website's footer, sidebar, or any section. It works with every website builder and platform.
Your visitors create real impact
Every page view is counted. When impressions reach your threshold, the badge automatically triggers verified environmental impact.
Track everything in your dashboard
See real-time impressions, daily trends, and the exact impact triggered for each badge. Full transparency, no guesswork.
It's free to add to your website
Adding the Climate Action Badge costs nothing. You can create an account, configure a badge, embed it on your site, and start tracking impressions — all on the free plan, with no credit card required.
You only pay for the actual environmental impact triggered when impressions reach your threshold. Pricing is simple and transparent:
- $0.50 per tree planted
- $0.60 per food-bearing tree planted
- $0.50 per lb of carbon captured
- $0.60 per lb of ocean waste removed
- Your chosen amount for donations
If your badge doesn't reach the threshold, you pay nothing. Impact is only billed when it's actually triggered.

Privacy, GDPR, and cookie compliance
The Climate Action Badge was designed with privacy as a non-negotiable requirement. Here's exactly what it does and doesn't do:
What the badge does
- Counts anonymous page loads
- Renders a small visual badge
- Triggers environmental impact at your threshold
- Tracks aggregate impression counts (not visitors)
What the badge does NOT do
- Use cookies or local storage
- Track individual visitors or IP addresses
- Collect personal data of any kind
- Use fingerprinting or third-party trackers
Because the badge collects no personal data and uses no cookies, it is fully compliant with GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), ePrivacy Directive, LGPD (Brazil), PIPEDA (Canada), and Australia's Privacy Act — without requiring a cookie consent banner or opt-in mechanism.
Will it slow down my website?
No. The badge is specifically engineered for zero performance impact:
- Tiny bundle: Under 10KB gzipped — smaller than most images on your page.
- Async loading: The script loads asynchronously and never blocks your page rendering.
- Shadow DOM isolation: The badge renders inside a Shadow DOM, so its CSS never conflicts with your site's styles.
- CDN-served: The script is served from AWS CloudFront's global CDN, so it loads from the edge server closest to your visitor.
- No layout shift: The badge fades in after the page is loaded, causing zero Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
You can safely add the badge to any website without affecting your Google PageSpeed score, Lighthouse audit, or Core Web Vitals. It's designed to be as unobtrusive as a favicon.

No. The badge script is under 10KB gzipped (smaller than most images), loads asynchronously, and renders inside a Shadow DOM. It has zero measurable impact on your page load speed, Lighthouse score, or Core Web Vitals.
No. The Climate Action Badge does not use cookies, session storage, local storage, fingerprinting, or any form of visitor tracking. It simply counts anonymous page loads. It is fully GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy compliant without requiring a cookie banner.
You can choose from four impact types: plant trees (including food-bearing trees), capture carbon dioxide through direct air capture and enhanced weathering, remove plastic and debris from the ocean, or donate to any charity or nonprofit of your choice.
Every impact action is tracked in your Climate Badge Insights dashboard in real time. You can see total impressions, daily counts, impact triggered per badge, and cost breakdowns. You can also track individual impact records in your main dashboard.
Yes. You can choose between a light or dark theme, a standard or compact size, and two display modes: 'generic' which shows 'Climate Action Website', or 'impact' which shows your running totals (e.g., '42 trees planted'). The badge also displays the icon matching your chosen impact type.
No. Badge impressions are tracked separately and do not count towards your API call quota. Only the impact triggered when your configured threshold is reached counts as a billable event.
Absolutely. You can create multiple badges with different impact types, thresholds, and allowed domains. For example, one badge on your homepage for trees and another on your blog for carbon capture, each tracked independently.
Yes. The badge works with any website that supports custom HTML or script tags. This includes Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby, static HTML sites, and any other platform. For modern frameworks like Next.js, we provide an SSR-safe inline embed pattern.
Your historical impression and impact data is preserved in your dashboard. You can pause or delete a badge at any time from the management page. Pausing stops new impressions; deleting soft-removes the badge but keeps all historical data for reporting.
