Brighter Planets small Vermont-based team uniquely juxtaposes pragmatic environmentalism, savvy social media, and community presence. They partner with a diverse range of organizations - large and small - for profit and non-profit – all united to support solutions to the climate crisis.
More than 100,000 individuals and businesses in all 50 states have used Brighter Planets products and services.
The free social web application serves everyone, no matter their greenness or scientific interest. Visitors measure their climate impact, discover tailored tips to save energy and money too, create personalized emission reducing strategies, and share their online eco-stature. Answering questions powered by a novel artificial intelligence, their footprint - as individual as their fingerprint - emerges. Members can update their profile to mirror their progress as they learn to live more carbon-free.
Brighter Planet customers fund reputable climate change projects with every swipe of their Brighter Planet Visa Credit or Debit Card or by purchasing offsets directly. The climate change projects include locally-owned wind turbines, farm methane digesters, and other clean energy projects that demonstrate community and social value while reducing greenhouse gasses being pumped into the atmosphere. Projects follow a stringent carbon offset policy and are unanimously approved by the Project Selection Committee of nationally recognized environmentalists.
