In one sentence: Microsoft is the single largest direct buyer of carbon dioxide removal on Earth: 45 million tonnes contracted in fiscal year 2025 alone, across 21 suppliers and ten countries, entirely outside the Frontier coalition it's often (wrongly) lumped into, and this page credits that scale in full while showing the honest gap underneath it: those tonnes are real but invisible and far away, while EWP settles small, receipt-backed, local ecological work packets an employee could walk to on a lunch break.
Microsoft buys more carbon removal than anyone on Earth: 45 million tonnes last year alone, real and credited.
Those tonnes happen far away and out of sight. EWP does the same kind of work at a size one person can actually watch happen nearby. There is no ask here, just an honest comparison.
noindex, not sent to anyone without explicit operator review.Credit-first: Microsoft's removal footprint is genuinely the largest we've reviewed. One correction to a common conflation, one machine-discovery gap, each reproducible.
llms.txt (the file AI assistants read first), both .well-known/* paths: all true 404s, byte-identical to a nonsense control (784,306 B).robots.txt exists (200); nothing built for an agent beyond it.Contracted in FY2025, delivered over years, across facilities most employees will never see.
Fund → claim → prove (photo + GPS + signature) → settle on Base mainnet: a single, local, walk-to-it action.
Four evidenced findings: the FY2025 scale, the Frontier/Symbiosis distinction, the agent-discovery gap, and the honest EWP intersection, each with the exact source and re-check command.
Read the brief0x76c17C…A14B settles real-world ecological labor on Base mainnet: fund → claim → prove → approve → on-chain settlement → carbon retirement where ecological. It doesn't duplicate Microsoft's tonnage; it's the visible, local layer underneath the kind of demand Microsoft's own removal program proves is real.
Isn't: a partnership pitch, a vendor application, or a claim of affiliation or contact with Microsoft.
Is: a credit-first read of Microsoft's own public numbers, a correction of the Frontier/Symbiosis conflation, and an honest note on where EWP's packet-scale, receipt-backed work could sit next to a program this large.
