Buy An Acre ProgrammeI am concerned about the environmental impact and waste produced from salon waxing, namely by single dipping wooden spatulas. So I pledge to donate 10% from the sale of each wax service to the World Land Trust for their Buy An Acre programme.
PROTECT HABITATES The World Land Trust's Buy an Acre project gives overseas partners the vital resources they need to purchase land and protect it – whether it is a wildlife corridor linking isolated reserves, or tropical forest threatened by deforestation. FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE Intact, healthy forests are the green lungs of the planet, taking CO2 from the atmosphere and locking it away. Saving the world’s last remaining forests is a crucial way of tackling climate change. SAVE SPECIES Buy an Acre projects target areas with high biodiversity that are also home to threatened wildlife like the Jaguar, and species yet to be discovered. Saving land can prevent extinction.
