- Product Description
- Celsias enables individuals and companies to take local action against global warming. People meet at Celsias to create, fund and equip projects and get instant feedback on their impact on global warming. Using tools, project leaders immediately access the collective wisdom of Celsias’ growing community, a primary destination for the LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) market segment. If their projects are highly-ranked by the Celsias community, project leaders can also solicit donations for their projects.
- Market Opportunity
- The LOHAS (lifestyles of health and sustainability) market segment was estimated at $300 billion in 2006, approximately 30% of the US consumer market (Wikipedia article for references). The CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) market is a major part of “triple bottom line” accounting. Celsias is positioned to access both high-growth market segments.
- DEMO Says
- Saving the planet has just gotten a lot easier. Celsias not only provides a place to learn about the massive issues that are creating global warming, it’s a place to discover and support the grassroots efforts to make changes. Celsias’s project listings allow individuals to contribute to efforts large and small focused on affecting climate change and sustainable living. This unique community brings a massively global crisis into clear focus and demonstrates that individuals can make a difference.
