Who We Are
Kids 4 Earth is a youth-led nonprofit inspiring young people to take action against climate change. We are actively collecting clothes, books, and toys in order to reduce waste in landfills. By doing so, we can lessen greenhouse gas emissions and slow down global warming. Our donations find new homes in underprivileged communities locally and around the globe. Together, through community-based actions, we are shaping a greener, kinder world.
Change starts in our closets. By recycling clothes, books, and toys, we reduce waste, save resources, and protect our planet. Join us in creating a world where fashion is sustainable, not disposable."
