## 1. Chat: Zero carbon chat - Mattermost, Matrix
You need a chat system when working remotely, more than anything. We have two chat systems, [Mattermost](https://ungleich.ch/u/products/zero-carbon-chat/) and [Matrix.](https://ungleich.ch/u/products/hosted-matrix-chat/)
Mattermost offers an extremely easy and smooth team communication for people with all kinds of backgrounds. Most of our team talk happens on this platform.
You definitely need a chat system when working remotely with your team, and you need it to be secure and hassle-free. We used to be on Slack at the very beginning, but we did not like the fact that Slack is hosted with AWS: from our point of view AWS datacenters are not sustainable compared to our own renewable energy datacenter, so we moved away from Slack into hosting our own chat.
Now we have two chat systems, [Mattermost](https://ungleich.ch/u/products/zero-carbon-chat/) and [Matrix.](https://ungleich.ch/u/products/hosted-matrix-chat/)
Mattermost offers an extremely easy and smooth team communication for people with all kinds of backgrounds. Most of our team talk happens on this platform. [Our chat](https://chat.ungleich.ch) is open for public and we invite anybody who's looking for a team chat to dive into it to experience it.
