Team Trees is a non-profit organization that will plant a tree for every dollar donated. They started last year when 2 YouTubers, MrBeast and Mark Rober had a goal of reaching 20,000,000 trees by the end of the year. Even though the year is over Team Trees is still working to make the world a better place one tree at a time.
The Clean Air Task Force is a US based non-governmental organization that has been working to reduce air pollution since 1996. They will often focus on targeting emission sources that are neglected by other environmental organizations and scaling up deployment of technologies that are crucial for decarbonization. By donating a dollar it is estimated that it allows them to avert 1 metric ton of CO2. Since 1996 they have successfully campaigned to reduce the pollution caused by coal-fired power plants in the US, helped limit the US power sector’s CO2 emissions, and helped establish regulations of diesel, shipping, and methane emissions.
The Rainforest Foundation works to protect the rainforests of Central and South America by partnering directly with the people who live there. They supply the indigenous people living there who are motivated to protect their land with legal support, technological equipment and training so they can use smartphones, drones, and satellites to monitor illegal loggers and miners, and take action to stop them.
The Water Project is a non-profit organization that provides reliable water projects to communities in Sub-Saharan Africa who suffer from a lack of clean water and proper sanitation. They help provide communities with clean safe water through new wells, rehabbed wells, sand dams, rainwater catchment systems and/or spring protections to schools, medical clinics and villages.
