What is Cooler?
Cooler is a climate change software company that provides automated tools for measuring and neutralizing carbon footprints in service of our mission to directly reduce or remove carbon emissions. We measure primarily by analyzing your transactions and expenses with our deeply researched carbon calculator, and neutralize by purchasing carbon emissions permits instead of offsets on your behalf, then provide you with tools for telling the story about your fight against climate change.
Join others in the fight against climate change and pollution
When we pool our climate action funds together, we can truly make a tangible difference by preventing new carbon emissions--today, not ten years from now in the form of offsets that allow continuous polluting in the meantime. We pool our customers' carbon removal funds to purchase emissions permits polluters need to continue to operate, thus reducing their ability to pollute at the same rate. We retire those emissions permits, preventing them from ever being used to pollute.
Why neutralize instead of offset?
Carbon offsets are indirect, neutralizing is direct and real. An example of a carbon offset would be where a polluter continues to emit carbon, but pays to plant trees that take 10 years to grow to maturity to consume today's carbon emissions--that's both indirect and delayed, and in the meantime allows the polluter to continue to pollute. We don't believe that's a great deal for anyone interested in clean air or mitigating the impact of global warming, caused by carbon emissions.
The Cooler Mission
Our mission is to enable businesses of all sizes to easily footprint and neutralize their carbon footprints of various goods and services they provide. Other approaches can take years to get to action; our goal is to give you the ability to take direct action today.
Ultimately, we want to retire as many carbon emissions permits as possible to dramatically reduce the amount of carbon produced and reduce the greenhouse gases emitted into the our air and atmosphere.
