Climate Toothpaste

Product Story

Although many people are concerned about climate change, there is a growing culture of social silence preventing open discourse leading to a false sense of security and apathy on this very serious issue.

BREAKING NEWS: The problem isn’t going to solve itself! That’s why you need Climate Toothpaste - with ACTIVIST ACTIVATOR!

Climate Toothpaste sparks conversations and supports non-profit climate groups working to secure a healthy climate.

Your purchase supports subsidized sales and gifts of Climate Toothpaste to carbon pricing groups around the U.S. $10,000 worth of Climate Toothpaste has been gifted to date.

Climate Toothpaste helped CarbonWA at a lobby day in Olympia WA. Letters about I-732, a revenue-neutral carbon tax, were delivered directly to legislators inside Climate Toothpaste boxes. I-732 is based on the successful carbon tax in Vancouver BC.

Your purchase will not only start a conversation - it will support this work in other parts of the country and internationally.
