The John Muir Trust
All proceeds from donations received from Wildland Protection by Caspar Wijngaard will go to the John Muir Trust. Collaborating with local partners, they work to demonstrate exemplary management of wild places; from woodland restoration to peatland. We were especially excited to support the John Muir Trust because of their work protecting and restoring peatlands (aka bogs, mires, swamps). Peatlands can seem like the worst thing on Earth when you’re tentatively picking your way around soggy ground wishing you were a bird. But these water-packed ecosystems are amazing and underappreciated collectors of carbon.
“These waterlogged, acidic, low-nutrient ecosystems are the most carbon-dense lands on Earth. You want to safely store carbon for a thousand years? Nothing beats peat. It’s nature’s vault. From the boreal north to the tropical south, from Scotland’s grouse moors to the vast tracts recently discovered in the Congo Basin, the Earth’s peatlands store twice as much carbon as all the planet’s forests combined — though they cover only a tenth of the landmass.”
The Hunger Project
All proceeds from donations received for Plant-Based Diets by Violeta Hernández will go to The Hunger Project. This international non-profit works to end hunger and poverty by pioneering sustainable, grassroots, women-centered strategies and advocating for their widespread adoption throughout the world. While they’re not explicitly a climate change non-profit, we think their holistic, gender-equal approaches are actually climate co-benefits. Empowering women & girls is one of humanity’s most effective solutions to climate change!
“Founded in 1977, The Hunger Project is a global, strategic organization committed to the sustainable end of world hunger. In Africa, Asia and Latin America, The Hunger Project empowers people to lead lives of self-reliance, meet their own basic needs and build better futures for their children. The Hunger Project carries out its mission through three essential activities: mobilizing village clusters at the grassroots level to build self-reliance, empowering women as key change agents, and forging effective partnerships with local government.”
Rewiring America
All proceeds from the funds raised by Electric Vehicles by Rafa Orrico will benefit Rewiring America. Our goal is to raise $10K.
Rewiring America is the leading electrification nonprofit, focused on electrifying everything in our communities. Supported by a world-class research team developing accessible, actionable data, and tools for Americans across the country, Rewiring America is crafting the blueprint for Americans to achieve energy efficiency, tackle nationwide emission goals, improve health, save consumers money, and build the next generation of the American workforce in clean energy.
“A recent analysis by Rewiring America, a nonprofit organization that is pushing for electrification of homes and buildings, found that 41 percent of overall inflation is related a jump in fossil fuel prices. The organization estimates that 103 million families would save money every month, a total of $37 billion a year, just by switching to electric furnaces and water heaters, which would qualify for new tax breaks under the Democrats’ climate bill.”
The Coalition for Rainforest Nations
All proceeds from the funds raised by our first four screen-prints (Cultivate, Electrify, Empower, Engage) benefited the Coalition for Rainforest Nations (CfRN). Your donations raised $25K for CfRN in 2021.
The coalition was established by forested tropical countries to collaboratively reconcile forest stewardship with economic development. They ensure developing countries get paid if they can show that they’ve been preventing deforestation, a substantial source of greenhouse gas emissions.
“We believe that CfRN has had an extremely large positive impact on climate change by playing a pivotal role in establishing a global agreement on deforestation in UN climate change treaties. Overall, CfRN is a unique donation opportunity because of its status as an intergovernmental organization and its ability to leverage international forestry policy.”
