White Buffalo Land Trust

Education + Training

Through their WBLT Education and Training Programs they are working with educators, trainers, farmers, chefs, doctors, lawmakers, parents, and students to increase the ecological literacy of our community, and develop the capacity of current and aspiring land stewards in the field of regenerative agriculture.

Land Stewardship

Through the principles of Regenerative Agriculture we are developing systems that support biodiversity, water resources, and soil health while enhancing ecosystems services at a watershed level on our flagship farm and additional acreage in the county.

Scientific Research

Through their ongoing field studies they are monitoring the impacts of their practices to better understand the relationship between applied principles of regenerative agriculture and the indicators that will lead to repeatable desired outcomes in soil health, water resources, biodiversity, and economic health.

Enterprise Development

They are providing pathways for producers and customers to align ecology, economics, and community health in their operations and purchasing decisions. They develop exemplary products that are good for you, farmers, and the planet through their Food Brand, Figure Ate.

Carbon180
We can fix climate change.
It is possible to create a world where climate change is halted and economic prosperity is driven by innovative farmers, foresters, and businesses pulling carbon from the sky.
While it is also critical to reduce emissions, our climate goals can only be met by removing the carbon that already exists in our atmosphere.

What we're doing today.
Carbon180’s work educates, engages, and impacts policymakers, scientists, and businesses to champion and enact ambitious carbon removal policy. Carbon removal policy remains significantly underfunded by the public and private sectors, and limited resources mean the research, analysis, coalition building, and advocacy required to transform carbon removal into a global industry does not meet the scale needed. Our work will change that.

March 2022

We have two fundraisers going on right now.  

1. 100% of the sales of our Leonard Cohen necklace is being donated to Together Rising to support their efforts to provide services and supplies to refugees in Ukraine.  This fundraiser ends on 3/3 with the goal to donate $1300. Check back to see if we did it.  Update: We donated $900 to support refugees in Ukraine! Thanks for your support

2. 1% for the Planet

This month, we will be donating 1% of all sales to the Los Angeles Mission

Los Angeles Mission breaks the cycle of homelessness and poverty, by stabilizing people in a safe and spiritual environment, connecting them to solutions and walking with them on their journey.

Food Forward

1 in 9 Californians lacks adequate access to food. That’s nearly 4 million people. At the same time, 40% of food in the United States, or 80 billion pounds, is wasted every year.

Food Forward creates a sustainable solution to both these problems. Our dedicated team members and volunteers—people just like you—recover fruits and vegetables that would have been wasted from backyard fruit trees, public orchards, farmers markets, and the downtown Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market. We connect this abundance of nutritious food to people experiencing food insecurity, donating 100% of the produce we recover to hunger relief agencies across Southern California, and to tribal lands in Arizona and New Mexico.

I chose the choker chain and I wear my MAMAN necklace every day! Definitely recommend the 15 length, with the tiny tag it's just so sweet. Simple, meaningful, and adorable.

Ruby and Peridot are next💖 I just love this gorgeous outsized heart trimmed in gold and the slice of gemstone must be admired in person. Adore the chunky gold chain as well, which I got in both 20 and 24 length for options. Also great as a gifting set along with the gemstone heart earrings, I earmarked the Black Onyx as a graduation present next year for my too cool niece🖤

The words on the necklace are barely legible. The necklace is silver but the charm looks like nickel. Nice idea for a necklace but the charm leaves a lot to be desired. For the cost, definitely not worth the money.

Sparkly and fun this unique necklace was a hit with my friend who was showing it to everyone to read. I got the longer chain and it fits over her head rather than having our older hands fumbling with those tiny clasps.
