"A great way to do the right thing."

"Climate change and poverty are daunting challenges and COTAP is a great way to have a meaningful, measurable impact on both. The IPCC report states that we need to get to 600 lbs/CO2/person/year to keep warming under two degrees. So, I'm taking action towards becoming carbon neutral by driving an electric car, flying less, and offsetting my CO2 to address what I'm unable to eliminate. I choose COTAP because it's more meaningful, transparent, simple, and fun... and because it's a great investment in future generations!"

"Truly unique and innovative."

"COTAP is the only organization that I’m aware of that directly connects the climate change and global poverty issues. It is a truly unique and innovative platform."

"A Simple, Effective Solution"

"COTAP is the solution for my carbon footprint that I can't erase on my own. Their process couldn't be more simple, and not only am I able to offset my carbon footprint, I am having a direct, positive, measurable impact on reducing poverty. What more could I ask for?"

"Increasing My Impact"

"The issue of global inequality and poverty in the developing world is truly one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today. At the same time, the impact that people are having on our environment threatens the longevity not just of humankind, but of our planet. COTAP empowers me to magnify my impact by addressing both issues at the same time."

"Real, Measurable Change On Two Fronts"

"COTAP empowers me to make positive change in multiple communities around the world while counteracting my contribution to the long-term, ‘macro’ problem of climate change. It's real, measurable change on two fronts, and that makes COTAP very innovative and unique. COTAP's the wave of the future and I want to see it grow to reach more donors and communities."

Shay O'Reilly

"More Everything."

"COTAP's about way more than climate change and carbon offsetting, because they address economic inequality too. They're more global, transparent, and accountable than other offset providers, and most charities in general. They're a refreshingly positive antidote to the always-negative and disempowering national climate conversation. COTAP's also compelling because they properly contextualize themselves with regards to the need for footprint reduction, and how they fit in with California's progressive policies like the Climate Credit and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard."
