Global Cooling Businesses

Cutting the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is a problem that must be addressed immediately. By planting trees in tropical and sub-tropical areas, our Global Cooling Business Partners are able to help compensate for their annual carbon emissions.
 
Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a global cooling business. Our Business Energy Audit allows us to calculate your business' annual carbon output and determine approximately how many trees need to be planted to offset your business' annual carbon emissions. Please understand that this audit is informal, and it is not exact. This audit is based on your estimate of your business' annual CO2 emissions, and our estimate of the approximate number of tropical trees it would take to absorb that amount of CO2 annually (at 50 lbs/ tree/ yr). You should use this audit in conjunction with other conservation/ offset measures.
