If you read the article you'll note that they are specifically doing that in partnership with Stripe's climate program which funds startups who do, at signifgant cost, physically remove the CO2 from the air and sequester it.
The offsetting is one thing but they are also funding credits to startups that physically remove carbon from the air and sequestering it in these carbon capture programs.
For each credit worth of carbon DDG activities do, they are offsetting 1.25 credits worth of carbon through purchasing those credits.
But, further still they are then buying additional credits through startups that actually remove carbon from the air and sequester it, as it outlines in the article.
But yeah should be looked at!
Even droplet based spread (which is not airborne) can transfer over distances on to surfaces. This is why there is advisory for a 6+ ft physical distance.
That does not mean it is an airborne disease, as it seems the virus needs to survive in droplets.
It is no surprise to me that a choir singing could easily spread droplets on to surfaces and inadvertently touch their faces during that time.
Even a heavy breath that expels air and droplets from the lung can cause spread. That doesn't mean its airborne.
It's a tool where users post bounties for features. Usually the owner of an open source project would set up a bounty and say "$xxx to fix this" and open source developers can apply to work on the problem, once its approved they get the funds.
But, if community members really value the project they can chip in more funding to the issue.
Currently the system is set up to use Ethereum and DAI (an ethereum USD stablecoin) to handle transactions, and Gitcoin's smart contract acts as the escrow account for the work.
Plus, the Canadian design of putting the pedestrian crosswalk, right at the roundabout and having cars stop in the roundabout to yield to a waiting pedestrian adds additional risk.

It looks like it may have been an edge case around capitalization where "meteo roma" was working and "meteo Roma" wasn't.
We can only find cases like this when users report them - so if you run into one again, feel free to use the feedback button on the bottom-right hand side of the screen! :)
