We want to show you the future.

about

From tech innovation to policy implementation, Supercool covers carbon-cutting solutions underway today to combat clmate change and simultaneously improve modern life.

The greatest innovation story in all of human history is already unfolding in towns and cities across the globe. For many, the low-carbon future is here, delivering benefits like energy cost savings, improved health outcomes, and improved performance in our schools, all while rekindling hope.

Supercool covers these climate triumphs and delves into the data depicting how the greatest climate solutions also enhance quality of life and strengthen communities.

Not all climate solutions are created equal. Some are uninspired. Others are unrealistic. But in the hands of forward-looking designers, innovators, policymakers, and everyday folks endowed with an abundance of common sense, the low-carbon future delivers.

We’re excited to show it to you.

Team

Josh Dorfman, Co-founder, CEO & Host

Josh is a climate entrepreneur, author, and media personality. Most recently, Josh co-founded and was CEO of Plantd, a carbon-negative materials manufacturer, where he raised the company’s seed and Series A funding rounds, generated millions in pre-launch revenue, and received the U.S. DOE’s Epic Prize for Cleantech Innovation and Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies Award. Earlier, Josh led Vine.com, a sustainable products business unit of Amazon.

3 Key Facts About Josh

1.  Josh once spent four years living in the Brooklyn furniture showroom of Vivavi, an eco-friendly retail company he founded in 2003. Unable to afford an apartment and an NYC storefront, he combined them. Everything was going great until, he came back from lunch one day to discover someone had purchased his bed.

2.  Josh is the only featured guest to have ever ridden a bicycle onto The Martha Stewart Show, which, to his low-carbon mind, is the pinnacle of having arrived.

3.  In the 1990s, when a billion people still rode bicycles in China, Josh traveled the country’s dusty roads peddling bicycle locks. He sensed that when the dust settled, a billion more people on this planet would be driving cars. That’s when he started thinking about global warming.

Aron Kressner, Co-founder & COO

Aron is an experienced media and marketing professional, having worked with brands like Chase, Google, IBM, Today Show, Forbes, and Vox Media. Most recently he created and produced the Hermes award-winning “Healthy Conversations” podcast for CVS Health.

3 Key Facts About Aron

1.  He is a recovering cyclist, having once pedaled from New York, up the east coast to Maine, across the U.S. (technically, he hit the west coast in Vancouver) and then down to Los Angeles before making his way to Denver. He is proud to say, some 15 years later, he barely rides to this day.

2.  Aron loves music, particularly live music. He even met his wife at a concert – they have a growing record collection. 

3.  He believes climate change is far more interesting than artificial intelligence, though the media seems to favor the latter. He wants to help with that and believes he can.

When This Duo Last Teamed Up

The last time Josh and Aron worked together on an environmental media venture…

Josh hosted an award-winning primetime television show on Sundance Channel, a daily radio show on SiriusXM, published two books, contributed to titles like Esquire, and created a number of digital products, including a popular website and newsletter – all branded The Lazy Environmentalist.

Never one to back down from a challenge, Josh “greened” 2x USA national taekwondo champion and former professional MMA fighter, James “Moonwalker” Moontasri, on his hit television show.

The team now brings that same tenacious spirit to Supercool.
