STOP OUR GLACIERS FROM MELTING
Glacial melt threatens human existence on the planet, learn how we can stop it.
The MAJOR cause of climate change is black carbon melting our glaciers.
If we defeat black carbon, we have a chance on this planet.
Learn HowWhen black carbon settles onto snow and ice, melting accelerates, and the loss of reflectivity creates a feedback loop exacerbating global heating.
Black carbon emissions from shipping in the Arctic increased 85% between 2015 and 2019.
We’re Running Out OF TIME
Most clean energy solutions don’t address black carbon.
In fact, some are making it even worse.
As long as mining, shipping, and building are dominated by fossil fuel, we’ll be producing more black carbon every day.
One container ship can produce as much black carbon as
13 MILLION CARS

Black Carbon
Black Carbon is hurting our
CLIMATE
Black carbon affects global warming 1500x more that CO2 emissions.
ENVIRONMENT
Black carbon is destroying ecosystems, hurting plants and crops, and causing acid rain and glacial melt.
HEALTH
An annual 3 million preterm births and 7 million deaths are attributed to black carbon air pollution.
IT’S TIME TO FIGHT BACK.

GET THE FACTS.
There’s something strange in the air.
The unburned fuel gets spread through the air in tiny particles.
When we use fossil fuels, not all of it is burned up.
This is how we get:
Black Carbon.
THE BAD NEWS....
Black Carbon Is Killing Our Planet and Our People.
HEALTH
7 million deaths every year
- 43% Lung Disease/Cancer
- 29% Heart Disease
- 24% Stroke
2,700,000 preterm births
70% of cancer-related air toxins
CLIMATE
Affect global warming 1500x more than CO2 pollution
- Absorbs sunlight and converts it to heat
- Accelerates the melting of snow and ice.
ENVIRONMENT
- Prevents clouds from being formed
- Alters regional patterns and rainfall
- Reduces sunlight
- Affects plant health and productivity
- Produces acid rain
THE GOOD NEWS
Here’s why we can do something
LOCAL
Black carbon stays nearby, so if we reduce, we can start to see an immediate impact in our communities.
IMMEDIATE
Since BC stays in the air for less time, if it’s reduced, we can see positive effects in just weeks.
FIXABLE
There are a lot of practical and inexpensive solutions on how we can prevent BC from being produced.
