Cool the Earth is a nonprofit environmental organization in the Bay Area that launched a free Climate Action Program for kids and schools in 2007. Since then Cool the Earth has worked alongside over 1/4 million children and 500 schools to save over 2 million pounds of carbon. Isn’t the awesome?
A climate action program that is provided by carbonclick experts which is designed for K-8 students and their families. This program aims to educate about climate change and inspire them to take simple steps to reduce their carbon footprint at home, school, and in their communities Parents or teacher volunteers run the program for each school.
Cool the Earth uses positive messages and makes it fun and easy to implement with rewarding results. Based on the “trickle up,” theory, where children learn and then are empowered to lead their families in behavior changes at home and in their communities, the 6-week program creates real change.
According to a 2013 Stanford University study, through the CTE program, families took more personal actions to reduce their carbon footprint, considered the environment when making purchases, and 38% went on to take civic action. Trickle up meets trickle down.
