Now we are focused on building a reforestation movement in America, from cities to large, rural landscapes. We all rely on forests in order to survive and thrive, given the power they have to filter our air and water, provide jobs, mitigate climate change and more. But our forests are being degraded and destroyed at a rapid pace and large scale. If we take care of our forests, they will take care of us. Learn more at www.americanforests.org.

Copia
Every day in America, we waste 3 times more food than there are mouths to feed. It is not a lack of food that's the issue, rather an ineffective distribution of that food. Hunger is not a scarcity problem — it's a logistics problem. For the first time ever, we can effectively donate prepared and highly perishable food to those who need it when they need it most. Copia’s technology allows businesses to request pickups of their surplus food. Copia’s platform then dispatches a driver to pick up the donation and deliver it to a nonprofit in need. Businesses that partner with Copia benefit from significant tax savings; robust waste tracking analytics to help reduce future waste; and marketing materials to share environmental and community impact with employees and stakeholders. Copia has diverted more than 1 million pounds of edible food from landfills and distributed over $9M worth of food to local nonprofits.
