MORE ABOUT CCSS
The Climate Change Smart Solutions initiative is intended not to be about us, – but rather about you, our users. Currently, CCSS is comprised of an informal handful of collaborative individuals and entities that are not climate professionals but wish to promote the works and efforts, content and solutions, – of others that are making a difference. Sufficient solutions exist to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. Our goal is to connect our users with information, entities, content, and actionable solutions that already resonate with them personally and can be digested at a level relative to their current understanding. From buying a new bicycle or car, to helping parents educate their children, to supporting journalists in communicating more effectively, – CCSS seeks to help. By having a focus on collaborating with and focusing on the works and efforts of others, our intention is to promote articles and information from the tens of thousands of activists groups, businesses, and organizations around the world that are seeking to create a better future for the planet and our children. CCSS is hosted by C-Smart Solutions LLC, of Colorado, and has been developed with the support of many online contributors and collaborators. Our long-term goal is to become a social-benefit, “B-certified” entity that is eventually owned collectively by all of the platform’s many stakeholders and supporters.
