Are you interested in learning more about sustainable ways to live, work, or play? Our mission is to provide all Californians with the tools they need to take action to protect the climate and keep California cool. We've got more projects and tools in the works so come back often. In the meantime, we'd love your help in spreading our message!

What makes CoolCalifornia.org different?

Our founding partners include state government agencies, universities, and a non-profit organization, all focused on finding solutions for Californians to stop the climate crisis. We believe small, simple steps serve as building blocks for reducing your carbon footprint and making your choices matter. That's why we've worked with our partners to bring you the first peer-reviewed, California-specific online carbon footprint calculator for households and small businesses; a Cool Roofs portal; and a Funding Wizard that helps users of all types find grants, incentives, and rebates for sustainable projects.

Award Programs

The Small Business Award Program is in its 4th year and has already recognized 58 outstanding small businesses in California for the actions they have taken and the money they have saved, check out our case studies. If you are interested or know of a business that you think should be added to our list, contact us.

We are excited to be sponsoring the first CoolCalifornia Challenge to find the "Coolest California City". This will be the largest team eco-challenge in the history of our Golden State! See our program announcement for more information.

We want to hear from you, too! Let us know about your program. We are amazed at what one group, company, or individual can do to stop the climate crisis and we want to know more!
