Coolmom

Leave a reply

Coolmom is a non-profit organization that encourages families (specifically with mothers) to join in to combat climate change.  They advocate multiple programs such as an activity called “Walking School Bus”, in which a large group of children would walk to school instead of ride the bus.  They participate in events to publicize their cause.  Coolmom is supported by large scale companies like Safeway and Organic Valley.  While their financial information is not available Coolmom is a trustworthy organization.  Coolmom is part of the “De-Carbonization of Community” wedge because the organization tries to pass on environmentally friendly ideas and projects to as many people as they can.
