SOS: Save Our Species
But what can we do?First, let's not turn their home into a grocery store aisle of resources. Sustainable forestry is a step forward. Second, support local and international NGOs fighting the good fight. Lastly, let’s be the voice these critters don't have. How can we do that?By sharing the Ecoalition movement whenever we can. Either by purchasing and wearing a bracelet proudly to start conversations or paying a bracelet forward to a loved one.Whatever you do, we’ll plant a new tree for each bracelet bought. We’re on our way to 1 million new trees being planted in the most deforested parts of the Amazon rainforest. We can’t wait to see all the wildlife sing joyfully as their home is slowly restored.No cap; the fate of our planet’s beating heart rests on our shoulders. Ready to step up?Join the Ecoalition Movement! And in the meantime keep an eye out for something special…It may or may not have something to do with a few of the friends we’ve listed above.
