Probably nothing.](https://betterclimatefund.com/images/better_hottest_year_banner.jpg)\n\n# Winter/Spring \u201824 Update\n\n#### \ud83d\udd14 Sorry, we\u2019re open\n\n\nTo whom it may concern,\n\nWe regret to inform you that we\u2019ve been forced to open our doors due to the brutal effects of climate change ravaging our planet.\n\nWith rising temps and a heavy heart, we\u2019ve made the tough choice to start selling fully sustainable products made out of recycled materials and upcycled trash. While the decision wasn\u2019t easy, allocating proceeds to the **BETTER Climate Fund** was ultimately the right move.\n\nWe understand that this is a challenging time for many and the store opening is likely an upsetting moment. But we are committed to providing additional support during this period. Please feel free to call our climate crisis hotline if needed at **1-877-365-1816.**\n\nThank you for your patronage while we take this difficult step forward. And please remember, as you peruse the assortment of **BETTER** products and services on our shelves, prices are subject to climate change.\n\n![BETTER Goods for a BETTER Planet.](https://betterclimatefund.com/images/better_products_banner.jpg)\n\n**\ud83d\uded2 Shop \u2018til you drop\u2026 global temps!**\n\nWhen it comes to direct, personal, ground-level climate action, many people find it\u2019s **too inconvenient or difficult to participate**.  Throw **web3, crypto, and ReFi** into the conversation, and you\u2019ve lost even more of the most well-intentioned folks.\n\nBut what\u2019s more convenient and ingrained than online shopping?  Introducing [**the BETTER Climate Store:**](https://betterclimatestore.com) Climate action from the comfort of your couch.  Launched last September, thanks in part to funding from Gitcoin, the **BETTER Climate Store** proceeds go toward powering the **BETTER Climate Fund**, a decentralized, community-driven endowment supporting climate positive projects.  What\u2019s more, the store provides an easy web2 and ecommerce onboarding mechanism for those interested in the ReFi and crypto space.\n\n\u3164\n#### \ud83c\udf0e Meet the BETTER Climate Fund\n\u3164\n\nIn an effort to reach more people outside of web3, the **BETTER DAO** (previously at betterdao&#46;io) can now be found at [**betterclimatefund.com**](https://betterclimatefund.com).  \n\nThe **BETTER Climate Fund** is a DAO-controlled, community-driven endowment supporting climate impact projects.  The **BETTER DAO** previously partnered with [**Spirals**](https://app.spirals.so/projects/better) to raise and distribute funds to approved planet-positive initiatives.  Due to Spirals recent inactivity, the **BETTER Climate Fund** is now generating yield through its own Ethereum staking strategies.\n\n![BETTER: Don\u2019t Let a Good Thing Go.](https://betterclimatefund.com/images/better_dontletagoodthinggo_banner.jpg)\n\u3164\n\n#### What we\u2019re building 2024\n\u3164\n\n**\ud83e\udd1d NEW EVENTS, PRODUCTS, AND COLLABS** \nBETTER is co-sponsoring climate and creative events across California this Spring, partnering with brands and collaborators to develop new BETTER and co-branded products and marketing campaigns, and continuing to add climate-friendly brands and products to the BETTER Climate Store, delivering the best eco-friendly products to consumers and sending proceeds to the BETTER Climate Fund. \n\n**\u270c\ufe0f CLIMATE FUND ENHANCEMENTS** \nDeveloping a front-end app and back-end enhancements to the BETTER Climate Fund as well as exploring new L2 solutions to incentivize participation, make it easier to deploy holdings for impact initiatives, and create frictionless and rewarding ways to contribute to the Fund and help govern it.  \n\n**\ud83d\udc4b WEB2 TO WEB3 ONBOARDING**\nBuilding a pathway for simple $USD contributions to the BETTER Climate Fund through Shopify.
