I've pledged 50% of the profits from skip purchases in touch grass to rewilding projects across the UK - the user knows this so you're still doing good even if you can't make it outside to touch grass

I'll update the page monthly and you can track it here: touchgrass.now/rewilding

Absolutely overwhelmed with the response to this - almost 40 people trying out touch grass. It means a lot! #buildinpublic

Yeah they do!

Lack of capitalisation is intentional, it’s the entire app’s design - made for gen z 😅
