Cleaner Energy with Clearloop
Clearloop works with brands, whether big or small, to help offset their carbon footprint by cleaning up the grid and expanding accessibility to cleaner energy through the establishment of solar projects spanning across numerous American communities. Based in the city of Jackson in Tennessee with large manufacturing and agricultural employers, Clearloop has ties to the large rural communities between Memphis and Nashville. The city of Jackson is diverse, with nearly half of its population identifying as Black, and also serves as a hotspot for commerce, healthcare, and education for the area. Through simplifying the process for companies that want to offset the carbon footprint of their goods and services by reclaiming their carbon footprint with new solar projects and matching their emissions with the reduction of carbon emissions from the development of new solar capacity, measured in watts.
Replacing dirty fossil fuel energy allows companies to clear the carbon footprint from electricity grids permanently. This means that by offsetting your carbon footprint with Clearloop, you are helping to create brand new solar farms. No matter the product or size of the brand, companies decide which corporate carbon emissions they’re ready to offset and then reclaim them by building new solar capacity that expands access to clean energy. If the southern U.S. were a country, it would be the 6th largest polluter of carbon emissions in the world. Your investments build new solar energy facilities that reclaim carbon emissions from the dirtiest parts of the American electricity grid. Brands and companies will receive progress updates, including how much energy your contribution is producing. Clearloop provides clean energy to create cleaner air. An investment in solar energy has a long-term impact on American communities which are oftentimes left behind.
Within the next 10 years, it is Clearloop’s goal to not only reduce the use of fossil fuels (e.g., coal, gas) but to reclaim carbon footprint altogether to help power everyday items (e.g., charging electronic devices, lighting in living spaces, and cooking meals). When a product obtains the Clearloop 100% reclaimed carbon warranty, the product’s total carbon footprint is considered to be “reclaimed,” or accounted for, by funding new renewable energy facilities in the United States. Their lifetime will displace the equivalent amount of carbon used in conventional electricity production.
In celebration of Earth Day 2021, Clearloop is opening an opportunity for individuals to join them in making carbon a relic of the past. You can input any number of solar panels, pounds of carbon, dollar amount, or number of watts, you’d like to contribute to help Clearloop reach their 1-million-watt goal. The first 50 to reclaim their carbon footprint with Clearloop will receive time capsules to represent the carbon you’re helping us leave behind, and also receive an invite to their groundbreaking party in Jackson, Tennessee where you can bury it along with anything else you’d like to see become a relic of the past!
