Climate change is the challenge of our time. Glad exists to make it easy for everyone to play their part in fixing the problems that cause it.

Pollution is the root cause of climate change.

To address the problem, we need to tackle pollution in two key ways:

• Reduce (or better yet, stop!) greenhouse gas emissions, like carbon dioxide.
• Clean up the pollution we’ve been pumping into the atmosphere for generations.

(Did you know 1988 was the last time carbon dioxide levels were considered safe?)

Glad is focused on the latter: cleaningup our atmosphere.

The technology to do this is already here, and big companies like Microsoft are leading the way by investing in carbon removal solutions. But relying on a handful of mega-corporations isn’t enough. We need everyone to get involved in funding the cleanup.

That’s where Glad comes in.

We provide a way for everyone to make a real impact. People join the Glad Climate Cleanup community, contribute, and we pool their resources to fund greenhouse gas cleanup from a variety of trusted sources.

Our members get the recognition they deserve, with contributions recorded on their own Glad Impact Record, which shows how much impact they, and the whole community have had.

The cleanup technologies we need to get the job done get a fresh source of funding, and we all move toward a cleaner planet.

Win. Win. Win.

I co-founded Glad with my longtime collaborator, Ben Wynn, to apply our combined 40 years of experience in digital product design and development toward something that truly matters - helping tackle climate change and creating real, positive impact.
