About Platypus

Our Purpose

Our goal with Platypus is to enlist the consumer (i.e. you) in the fight against climate change, by providing a way to contribute directly to renewable green energy projects.

Our Plan

By turning green energy into a consumer product that can be given as a gift, we hope to raise significant amounts of money for green energy projects in Canada and around the world.
