Our mission is to serve toward building a clean-energy world by providing and supporting world-class research, conducting outreach and education toward designing and promoting policies that accelerate the deployment and development of clean-energy technologies, and identify ways to adapt to climate change. Our task is to advance research and education in climate change and global warming and, ultimately, to improve the quality of life for all.
The Earth Lab Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Kirkland, Washington and is an independent non-profit service organization governed by a Board of Trustees and an Advisory Committee.
The Earth Lab Foundation also provides functional outreach and reverse research and educational efforts in part through EarthLab.com, (www.EarthLab.com), the leading Global Warming / Climate Crisis online community with the most widely used carbon calculator in the world, capable of providing unsurpassed real time data collection from consumers worldwide. Presently the Earth Lab Foundation is working closely with leading Global Warming / Climate Crisis scientists, researchers, experts and educators in the area of development of curriculum development to educate and activate the general public, and children specifically, through a series of online and classroom interactive lessons that teach children from kindergarten through 9th grade how to be a good steward to the environment.
EarthLab is the first climate crisis community designed to be a voice and forum for people interested in leading a more earth-friendly, healthier, cleaner and environmentally balanced lifestyle. EarthLab is a multi-platform media brand and gives a practical guide to green living. Via community interaction, content, surveys, and easy lifestyle tips to help the environment, EarthLab helps make a difference in your home, your neighborhood, your city, and the world.
EarthLab features the most widely used carbon index and lifestyle calculator and profile that leads members through a personalized Earth Conservation Plan (ECP). The profile includes an easy-to-use survey that generates personal carbon output and ECP scores, and saves and tracks results. The creation of a personal and private strategy focused on environmentally friendly options provides an opportunity for individuals to educate and activate themselves while embedding a green approach to their lives. EarthLab members can make pledges to affect small changes in their lifestyles and habits to instill a green approach to living, which improves their score over time. EarthLab also offers exclusive Climate Crisis related content, advice from experts, and key analysis.
