We Cool Earth by launching reflective clouds.

Yesterday, 7 more balloons carrying ~22 pounds of sulfur dioxide were launched, and 6 made it to the stratosphere to cool Earth. This is the cooling equivalent of 476,190 mature trees that last for a year. Thank you to our awesome customers who made it happen.

Earlier this week, we deployed ~12.99 pounds of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) into the stratosphere, including one launch that reached an altitude of 101,400 feet. These deployments offset the warming effect of 5,895 metric tons of CO₂ for a year. In under three hours, we achieved the climate-cooling equivalent of planting 267,954 mature trees. 🧵1/2

Make Earth Cool Again. Yesterday, we had special guests 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 and Alice help us deploy reflective clouds next to the Ozone layer to cool Earth. In total we launched four balloons and placed ~7.25 pounds of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) close to the Ozone layer, including one launch that reached a height of 101,358 feet. These deployments offset the warming effect of 3,290 metric tons of CO₂ for a year. We achieved the climate-cooling equivalent of planting 149,545 mature trees that last for a year.

Yesterday, we deployed three balloons with a total payload of 6,075 grams of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the stratosphere, decoupling the warming of 6,075 tons of CO2 for a year. 🌍 🌳That’s like planting 289,285 trees that last for a year! 🌳 Bonus: We made history with the first-ever balloon launch carrying the largest SO2 payload into the stratosphere—3,095 grams in a single 4kg balloon! Special thanks to nvo and Tom Eliot for documenting the launch and helping us cool Earth.

On Earth Day 2025, we deployed four natural latex biodegradable weather balloons with a total payload of 7,200 grams (~15.8 pounds) of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. These 4🎈 offset the warming effect of 7,200 metric tons of CO2 for a year. Or another way to put it, we offset the warming effect of 1,565 gas-powered cars for a year. Thanks to all our customers who helped us make Earth a little cooler.
