About
At GreenClub, we believe that everyone can play a part to act on climate change! Through our projects, we create a community where small actions by many individuals make a substantial impact.
Current Projects
Sustainability for All: January 2022 - Present
GreenClub's current iniative directly aligns with our goal of
enabling everyone to act on climate change. We're currently
working on a Cornell-customized carbon footprint calculator
to provide a personalized plan to help our members become
the most environmentally sustainable version of themselves.
The most sustainable version of ourselves will look different
for everyone and will most likely require change, but we
aspire to learn and grow. With events and projects tailored
towards to community-building and sustainable living,
we truly hope to create an open, inclusive, and diverse community
that will enable everyone to do the same and collaboratively
mold a sustainable future!
Past Projects & Initatives
Carbon Offsets: April 2019-March 2021
Carbon offsets helped GreenClub members indirectly counteract their
personal carbon footprint, the amount of carbon dioxide they emitted
from everyday activities such as charging a laptop, driving a car,
or eating food, by funding the reduction of carbon emissions elsewhere.
Throughout the duration of the initiative, GreenClub partnered with various
ethical and cost-effective programs to offset 1 ton of carbon emissions
per month per member. Check out ways to stay involved with carbon offsetting
on our Instagram or your
Dashboard.

3Degrees
September 2020 - March 2021
Following the end of our partnership with GreenTrees, GreenClub supported 3Degrees,
an umbrella organization for a wide range of carbon offset efforts within the renewable
energy industry. These offsets are generated by a variety of practices including wind
energy, HFC emissions reduction, landfill gas capture, reforestation, and more. 3Degrees
demonstrates just how far-ranging the carbon offsetting industry can be. To learn more,

GreenTrees
April 2019 - August 2020
Since our launch in 2019, GreenClub’s partnership with GreenTrees has been an effective,
nature-based approach to offset carbon emissions. GreenTrees is the largest reforestation
effort in the US, and data from the number of trees they plant translates to carbon
credits- a tangible way to measure the amount of carbon offset by the trees. The benefits
of reforestation go much farther than carbon offsets: reforestation aids in the recovery
and preservation of entire ecosystems. All reforestation efforts from GreenTrees are within
the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, or “America’s Amazon.” To learn more, click

Green Worker Cooperatives
June 2020
There can be no sustainability without social justice. In the light of national turmoil over
police brutality and systemic racism, the GreenClub team was compelled to do its part. For
the month of June 2020, GreenClub allocated monthly subscriptions towards Green Workers
Cooperative (GWC), an organization in South Bronx, NY focused on combating environmental
racism. With its mission of building, growing, and sustaining worker-owned green businesses
to create a strong, local, and democratic economy rooted in racial and gender equality, GWC
unites minorities and immigrants of all backgrounds and identities to advance sustainability.
Although GWC does not provide verified carbon offsets, they and similar initiatives play a
key role in creating a greener future. To learn more, click

National Forest Foundation
Earth Day 2020: April 22
This past Earth Day, GreenClub partnered with the National Forest Foundation to plant trees,
a simple way to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere while preventing soil erosion,
restoring damage from wildfires, providing habitats for wildlife, and creating beautiful
scenery. The reforestation projects that The National Forest Foundation funds are all
US-based and are located in protected areas. All donations during this campaign were
matched 1:1 by the NFF. To learn more, click
