College campuses can be leaders in addressing global warming using the talents of students, faculty, staff, and the community and their expertise in education. Clean Air-Cool Planet’s Campus Solutions packets – based on our nationally recognized Campus Carbon Calculator and our campus toolkit – are designed to help institutions create a realistic plan of action and get started reducing greenhouse gases. By sponsoring 10 of these packets, you’ll help 10 campuses reduce the threat of global warming by giving them the resources to learn how to reduce emissions, including: information on global warming, guidance on doing a greenhouse gas inventory, how to set emission reduction targets and create an action plan, actions individuals can take, examples of what other colleges have done, and a variety of other useful tools.

By donating to Clean Air–Cool Planet, you can offset 1000 pounds of carbon. The donation will purchase Renewable Energy Certificates from NativeEnergy, a Vermont company that provides incremental funding for wind, landfill gas and farm methane projects that might not otherwise be built. In addition to generating electricity without using fossil fuels, these projects help provide indigenous communities, small cities and towns and family farms not only with a new source of clean, affordable, dependable electricity, but in many situations an additional source of revenue helping to stimulate local economies. What’s more, your donation sends a strong message to the market and government leaders in support of renewable energy that it’s good for business and good for the planet!

WLT-US buys real acres in real places and protects them forever. By targeting the highest priority areas and taking these areas off the market for destruction, we can save countless species and critical habitats that are often protected nowhere else. We are highly efficient and able to purchase and protect private lands with rainforest for $100 an acre or less. We focus actions on key areas under imminent threat that often represent the last surviving habitat for threatened species. We then move swiftly to protect these biodiversity treasures before they are lost. World Land Trust-US has protected over 600,000 acres of rainforests and other threatened habitats to protect the most endangered species forever.
$50.00
Make an important contribution and a special connection with the animals at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium by joining the Aquadoption program.

Your gift will provide one afternoon of Backyard Adventures! programming for up to 12 youth at a local school in Lowell, MA. Backyard Adventures provides experiential learning opportunities for disadvantaged youth in Lowell to help them gain self-esteem, leadership skills, and exposure to environmental career opportunities. Backyard Adventures provides ‘hands-on’ lessons in the out-of-doors to learn about the natural environment by exploring local habitats, conducting valuable field work, and giving youth a ‘voice’ in sharing their knowledge with others in the community. Each youth will develop a stronger connection to their community and the land, further enhance their sense of responsibility for the environment, and encourage participation in local action/stewardship opportunities (most often developed by the students themselves). This multi-disciplinary program follows the Massachusetts curriculum frameworks.

A fuel efficient cook stove that is proven to reduce firewood and charcoal use by 40%, increase fuel-related savings, and also reduce indoor air pollution dramatically improving the respiratory health of the women using them and their families. These stoves have a documented record of performance, saving a family a minimum of $35 annually in fuel costs, reducing charcoal consumption by 0.64 kg of charcoal per day or 233.6 kg of charcoal annually, saving 1.9 tons of wood a year, and substantially reducing carbon dioxide emissions. For every 8 stoves donated a hectare of pristine forest is saved.
$40.00
This gift protects five acres of Amazonian rainforest. Your support is needed to manage the 360,000-acre Los Amigos Conservation Concession. This area of old-growth rainforest has one of the highest species concentrations in Amazonia. It is part of a 20 million-acre block of wilderness in southeastern Peru, which is home to some of the last uncontacted indigenous groups on Earth. Your support will help us prevent poaching and illegal deforestation in the concession by funding and equipping a team of local forest rangers, as well as promote conservation and Amazonian science through our biodiversity monitoring program. These activities cost us an average of $8 per acre per year. Your gift will help ensure that there are jaguars and rainforests for generations to come!
$25.00
Students and faculty at The School for Field Studies Center for Marine Resource Management in the Turks and Caicos Islands help monitor the condition of the spectacular coral reefs, both inside and outside the MPAs, using scientifically rigorous monitoring techniques. Based on their field observations, students assess the validity of indicator species for reef health, the effects of diver tourism, marine species interactions, the impact of coral diseases and many other issues related to marine natural resource harvesting, conservation and monitoring. Your gift will sponsor an hour-long research dive by providing a SCUBA tank, air, weights and research vessel for an SFS student.
$40.00
Your donation will assist NRDC in securing permanent protection for millions of acres of parks and wildlands from pollution, oil drilling and mining and other development.
$15.00
Your gift will fund one student researcher for one hour of data collection at The School for Field Studies Center for Wildlife Management Studies. Data collected will be used to develop a land-use plan for the Kimana, Kuku and Mbirikani Group Ranches that will identify economically sustainable measures that can be taken by these Masaai group ranches to decrease human-elephant conflict and wildlife conflict in general. Research will also ensure that wildlife and in particular, elephant, range remains open. The goal of this multi-year project is to collect all the primary data needed to work with the local communities and other stakeholders to implement a land-use plan that will ensure the survival of both humans and elephants in the Amboseli Ecosystem.
