Difficult year for Planet Earth
It has been a difficult year for the environment. One news story after another highlighted how our government has decided to ignore the problem. Natural disaster like hurricanes and wildfires have become more common and more devastating. Organizations like Cool Effect are doing their part by matching worthwhile projects around the world with private donors.

Cool Effect promotes climate change with a sense of humor
I am not sure when climate change became a political debate, but it has. Just like all things politics, the topic of climate change is highly charged and contentious. The best way to project the message without angering half of the population is through humor and a snowman newscaster. Charles Winters reports from raging wildfires and the depths of the ocean to raise awareness to Cool Effect’s mission.

Travelers and outdoor enthusiasts are two types of people the Cool Effect gift would appeal to. Travelers like to stay light and prefer experiences over material objects. They are both concerned with the environment and the impact we are having in regards to climate change.
Even environmentally considerate travelers leave a footprint. Help them offset their holiday or yearly travel with a gift pack to one of the amazing Cool Effect projects. The snowman bundle is especially gift worthy thanks to the seasonal appeal.

Disclosure
For the second year in a row, I am working with Cool Effect to raise awareness to their organization’s effort to reduce our carbon footprint and save the planet. The fact that I have been paid for this does not impact this post or my Instagram posts as Cool Effect’s vision is in line with my own. My thoughts and opinions on Cool Effect and climate change are my own. I also enjoy their light hearted approach to the serious subject.
