About Make Sunsets
Make Sunsets utilizes stratospheric aerosol injection to deploy biodegradable reflective clouds that reduce solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface, effectively cooling the planet. This approach addresses the urgent need to mitigate global warming while providing a cost-effective solution for offsetting carbon emissions.
```xml <problem> The Earth is rapidly warming, and current efforts to reduce emissions and remove carbon dioxide are insufficient to prevent significant temperature increases in the near term. Reliance on lifestyle changes, renewable energy adoption, and reforestation will take too long, leaving millions vulnerable to the effects of climate change. </problem> <solution> Make Sunsets utilizes stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) to reflect sunlight away from the Earth, providing a temporary cooling effect. Balloons deploy tiny, reflective particles into the stratosphere, creating a thin layer that reduces the amount of heat reaching the Earth's surface. This approach aims to buy time for longer-term climate solutions to take hold, mitigating the immediate impacts of global warming. Each deployment offsets the warming effect of a significant amount of CO₂ for a year. </solution> <features> - Balloon-based deployment of reflective particles into the stratosphere at an altitude above 12.4 miles (20km). - Use of biodegradable, reflective clouds designed to stay aloft for approximately one year. - Cooling Credits allow individuals and organizations to offset their carbon footprint. </features> <target_audience> Individuals and organizations seeking immediate, albeit temporary, solutions to mitigate the effects of global warming and offset carbon emissions. </target_audience> <revenue_model> Revenue is generated through the sale of Cooling Credits, with subscriptions available for recurring purchases. For example, users can cool the Earth for $30 per month, with credits priced at $1 each. </revenue_model> ```
