ulu Luchaire created PLANET BUYBACK, a community that supports land and ocean conservation through land purchase, ecosystem management, climate mitigation strategies, empowerment of indigenous peoples and plastic pollution solutions, because she was frustrated by the complexity of choosing charitable organizations to support. She decided to establish a very simple platform where you can donate monthly and experts handle the selection of the projects. The premise - we have more power as a collective than as individuals. Join the Planet Buyback community and ask your friends, family, co-workers to do the same. Now is time for real change. Let’s get our voices heard. $5 per month subscriptions by 1,000,000 people = $60,000,000 a year: • can neutralize carbon emissions • can make us greener and happier
• can protect our resources for our children • can make us proud of who we are • can remove plastic from the ocean • can stop the deforestation • can bring clean water to remote villages • can neutralize carbon emissions. Planet Buyback funnels subscriber contributions to eco-conscious initiatives, such as a plasticrecycling plant in Uganda or coastal preservation in Indonesia. The organization vets potential recipients based on factors like leadership, scalability, and fiscal transparency. Final selections are then made by co-founder Gillian Wynn, who sits on the leadership council for Conservation International.
