Global Cool - A Tonne of Cool

Global Cool are an organisation that aim to approach the challenge of climate change in a positive and informative way. They are widely supported by both DEFRA and many celebrities around the world.

Based in London and Los Angeles, a donation to Global Cool will be used to support a variety of projects, ranging from energy reduction projects and alternative energy projects.

Here's how they break it down on their site:

The biggest chunk, £10, goes to high quality alternative energy and energy reduction projects and means that you spare the world at least a tonne of CO2 (and if we could all spare a tonne, we would slow global warming significantly).

£4 gets invested in alternative energy technology companies to speed up the uptake of solar, wave, wind and biomass-generated power. Any long-term profit funds Global Cool's long-term work because you can't save a planet in a couple of months.

£3 goes to Global Cool Productions Ltd which allows our production people to put on more carbon-neutral shows and make more programmes to create a bigger noise to turn more people into planet-savers.

£2 goes to other clever climate change charities and campaigns. We all live on the same planet, it doesn't matter who saves it and the more people who shake a stick, the bigger the stick.

£1 is an administration cost which isn't interesting but needs to be there.

And if you sign a Gift Aid declaration, your donation gets bumped up by 28% which means you do 28% more planet-saving which is a good thing.
