Youcanchangetheplanet.org is dedicated to converting marginal or degraded lands into more diverse ecosystems. We have developed a form of conservation that we're calling "dually sustainable". The ecosystems we restore will be capable of perpetuating, or sustaining, themselves. Many of these conserved lands will also serve as a source of revenue as part of federal programs like the Conservation Reserve Program.
Your donations will be used to fund the purchase of marginal and degraded lands and converting them into viable, site native ecosytems. Our name was built around the words "can" and "change". We figure that anyone can collect, save, and recycle aluminum cans. We cannot imagine a better use for the money you receive for your aluminum than an investment in sustainable conservation. The other key word is change. Any time you spend some portion of a dollar, you get change back. We will put any dollars you are willing to donate to good use too, but saving and donating your change is a really easy way to make a big difference.
Additional revenue is created by the placement of advertisement on this page. Companies pay "per-click" premiums to be featured on these pages. By clicking on a link to one of our sponsors, you're generating more money for sustainable conservation!
