October's Sponsored Nonprofit: Clean Air Task Force

“We are a non-traditional, fact-based environmental organization.”

About. Did you know that more than 70% of the emissions that cause global warming come from our energy system? Every year, the global energy system produces almost 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions — pushing our planet toward irreversible climate tipping points. As emerging economies develop and their energy needs increase, that number will only increase unless we make dramatic changes to the way we power our world. CATF’s Mission: Push the technology and policy changes needed to achieve a zero-emissions, high-energy planet at an affordable cost. CATF’s Vision: Meet the world’s rising energy demand in a way that is financially, socially, and environmentally sustainable. CATF’s Goal: Achieve zero-emissions energy, waste, agricultural, and forest management systems by 2050.

As a technology-agnostic and evidence-based organization, we are a catalyst for change and a source for deep knowledge. We know that in order to address the climate challenge in time, we must ask some difficult questions: How do we decarbonize the sectors that electrification is unlikely to reach? What do we need to do to reach net-zero emissions in heavy industry sectors like steel and cement making, and in transportation sectors like marine shipping, trucking, and aviation? When it comes to electrification, what policies and technologies besides wind and solar do we need to transform the current electricity grid to become carbon-free on a global scale? And most importantly, what infrastructure do we need to build in the next 30 to 40 years to support these actions and take the required steps to reach decarbonization? https://www.catf.us/

Why EcoBrands supports Clean Air Task Force. Everyone knows about solar power and wind power as the common alternatives to traditional power sources, but the reality is that they barely nick the surface of global power demand and carbon reduction. This is where Clean Air Task Force is a beacon of light in actually achieving a zero-carbon planet in our lifetimes, with the goal of doing so by 2050. Among their other pursuits, innovations like “Superhot Rock Energy,” “Bioenergy,” and “Zero Carbon Fuels” are much newer technologies with much larger implications in the fight against global warming. In addition to expanding clean, renewable energy from traditional sources like wind and solar, Clean Air Task Force does so much more in order to make decarbonization of our planet a realistic possibility and not just a dream. As you already know, we love science and innovation, so it is easy for us to support the comprehensive and progressive work of Clean Air Task Force. In fact, there’s no other organization out there that gives us more hope in the fight against global warming than CATF. Please check out their website above to learn more about their inspiring work.

Our Sponsorship. At the end of every October, EcoBrands donates 10% of its monthly profit from all brands to Clean Air Task Force.

As always, thank you sincerely for reading. We wish you all the best on your path to sustainable living, as we continue on our own!
