Mission

CoolingMan's mission is to build bridges between the climate science and art communities, and inspire direct climate action by groups and individuals.
 

Activities

CoolingMan activities include:

Offsetting GHG Emissions from Art and Events

CoolingMan estimates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from cultural events and helps obtain a greater amount of GHG offsets to more than neutralize these emissions. Since offsets exceed emissions, events become 'carbon negative, climate positive,' and participants extend the gift economy by 'cooling it forward.'

Supporting Climate-Related Artworks

CoolingMan works to bring the creative and persuasive powers of the artistic community to bear on the challenge of climate change by providing ideas and funding for artworks exploring climate related themes.

 

Organization

The CoolingMan Project was founded in 2005 by a group of environmental consultants in San Francisco. The CoolingTeam of volunteers manage the organization and its projects.
