This Climate Change Site Helps You Donate to Eco Campaigns

— April 12, 2016 — Eco
This climate change site helps you take environmentally friendly action and support sustainable projects. Cool Effect is a new platform that curates crowdfunding campaigns that specifically address climate change.

Many people feel helpless when thinking about tackling huge world problems, including climate change, global warming and other eco issues. This climate change site gives the eco conscious an outlet to fundraise and take steps towards a greener world.

World changers can make a one-time financial contribution or, unlike other crowdfunding platforms, make donations over time and subscribe to a particular project aimed at reducing carbon emissions. With a goal of bringing together the globe's most promising carbon-reducing projects, Cool Effect hopes to literally help cool down the Earth's temperature.
Trend Themes
1. Carbon-reducing Crowdfunding - The trend of curating crowdfunding campaigns that specifically address climate change offers opportunities to disrupt the traditional methods of fundraising and philanthropy.
2. Subscription-based Donations - Allowing donors to make donations over time and subscribe to particular projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions promotes longer-term engagement and loyalty, creating opportunities to innovate new forms of donations.
3. Eco-friendly Fundraising - More and more people are becoming eco-conscious and want to contribute to a greener world. This trend of eco-friendly fundraising creates opportunities for businesses to incorporate eco-friendly practices in their operations.
Industry Implications
1. Crowdfunding Platforms - Crowdfunding platforms that curate campaigns targeted at addressing climate change can disrupt the traditional fundraising methods and attract environmentally-conscious donors.
