DRAWdown Design Project is a Los Angeles-based association of scientists and television producers who want to create climate activist art that inspires regular folks to create a spectacular future. All proceeds from the funds raised by our screen-prints will benefit our charity - the Coalition for Rainforest Nations (CFRN). The coalition was established by forested tropical countries to collaboratively reconcile forest stewardship with economic development. They ensure developing countries get paid if they can show that they’ve been preventing deforestation, a substantial source of greenhouse gas emissions.
