              <p> Buying a CoolDrivePass is a simple, affordable, and effective method to reduce the negative impacts of driving on the climate. Every purchase of a CoolDrivePass not only plays a role in fighting global warming by preventing and removing greenhouse gas emissions from the air but also contributes to local sustainable development in the project's surrounding area. </p>
