Electronic masterminds Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein (half of synth outfit S U R V I V E) return with their score for the second series of the widely acclaimed Stranger Things. If there was any apprehension about the score for Stranger Things, Vol. 2 being a bog-standard continuation of its predecessor, it is and it isn't. While the sound palette remains largely the same, the composers have made the decision to introduce new themes, motifs, and reprises that encapsulate the growth and development evident in the characters. Early on there's "Home," a reprise of Vol. 1's "Kids," albeit with its lead melody buried in resonant organ awash with reverb and lightly pulsating bass. One notable difference is the increased use of percussion: "Soldiers" and "The Return" are composed of tightly wound drums that carry the mix along with them -- the latter features a wonderfully modulated and pitch-shifted synth lead that wouldn't sound out of place on John Carpenter's score for Escape from New York. What seems to be continually obvious in the show is just how well the tone evokes the sense of camaraderie in a small- town community, evident in the classic '80s sci-fi movies that it's honoring -- Dixon and Stein manage to sonically depict this with pieces that can stand up as evocative anthems in their own right. One such example is the album opener -- "Walkin' in Hawkins" -- which is neither ominous nor strictly benevolent. Its rising and falling arpeggiated synth leads and burgeoning basslines evoke a true sense of adventure. The score for Stranger Things, Vol. 2 does seem to develop melody as equally as dissonance, aurally exploring multiple angles of adventure, threat, and youth in general while also proving yet again that Dixon and Stein are truly masters of their craft. ~ Rob Wacey

This includes funding innovative solutions such as direct air capture and mineralization, and a small portion of nature-based carbon removal. These funds companies such as 44.01, Carbofex, CarbonBuilt, CarbonCure, Charm Industrial, Climeworks, DroneSeed, Grassroots Carbon, Heirloom Carbon, Loam, Noya, Pachama, Planetary, Remora, Running Tide, and Sustaera. |
Carbon Removal Process
Carbon removal is the process of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then storing it.
For example, if a truck or a plane that delivers your shipment releases 1 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, and you are subscribed to the Planet app, then Shopify ensures that 1kg of CO2 is also sucked from the atmosphere and stored away using solutions and technologies in Shopify Sustainability Fund.
There is a fast-growing and evolving sector with many carbon removal technologies in different stages of development. These technologies include nature-based solutions, such as reforestation and soil carbon sequestration and more high-tech solutions, such as direct air capture and mineralization.
How Shipping Emissions Are Calculated
The Planet app combines data from our store with industry data and peer-reviewed models to estimate how much CO2 your shipments release into the environment. Because the Planet app makes sure that CO2 shipping emissions are removed entirely, all values that are used in the data models are rounded up.
Review the following table to learn more about the which data is used to determine shipping emissions:

To estimate your emissions, the Planet app uses order tracking data associated with the tracking number assigned to the shipment. If the tracking number isn’t available or the shipping carrier isn’t supported, then the Planet app multiplies the estimated emissions by an uncertainty factor of 1.5. The uncertainty factor helps make sure that all your emissions are removed. If any data is inconsistent or missing, then the Planet app uses a reasonable maximum value instead.
For example, suppose that you ship a package from Boston to New York. The straight-line distance is 305.94 km, but the shortest road route is around 350 km. If tracking data is available, then the Planet app uses the exact distance traveled.
However, if no tracking data is provided, then 305.94 km is used in the base calculation, and the resulting emissions would be multiplied by 1.5. This calculation accounts for variations in the route, such as distances traveled from post offices and distribution centers, and the route taken by the courier to deliver the package to your customer's door.
Considerations for using the Planet app
Review the following considerations for the Carbon Neutral Shipping Planet app:
- The models and estimates aren’t exact, but the Planet app overestimates your emissions to make sure that they’re entirely removed.
- The Planet app removes only carbon (CO2) emissions that account for 95% of the climate impact from burning fossil fuels for transportation. Other emissions such as CH4, N2O, and GHG aren’t removed.
- Orders that are shipped by sea transportation (we do not ship any orders by sea) don't generate the data required to accurately calculate emissions. Instead, industry-accepted alternative methods are used to calculate emissions.
- The Planet app currently focuses on addressing emissions from shipping-related transportation.
