We’re learning more every day about the courage we need to live the future we want. We must stand strong now and following the pandemic, and take what we learn from this crisis to create a more sustainable future.

Cool Davis is here to contribute to the new dynamics and to plan for a recovery that supports community members as well as the climate!

We are also celebrating our many donors, friends, and founders in a special way on Thursday, May 7th, during Big Day of Giving.  Come join us online to chat about electric vehicles, home energy, climate action, and Cool Davis past and future. Share some “cool” living stories from your shelter with our presenters.

Thank you for all your efforts and support in the last 10 years to transform our community. Cool Davis stands ready to work with you for the next 10 and beyond. We can flatten this climate curve, together!

Our clear skies are clear evidence! Our individual actions and staying at home are making a difference!

Cool Davis continues to assist residents in making thoughtful, sustainable, and cost-effective decisions for their homes and lives. We are providing information and advice on managing home energy, reducing waste, and switching to cleaner transportation when the pandemic recedes.

You and Cool Davis have been bending the climate curve together for 10 years. In this anniversary year, we’re taking our work to the next level for the next 10 but we’ll need your support to make it happen.
