It is easy to be “green!”

wristbands are coolSave Your World is a small company on a big mission: to do everything we can to protect Earth’s natural resources and to preserve what’s left of our natural world so future generations are able to enjoy these areas uncompromised.

That’s where we need your help, and we’re making it easy for you to contribute and aid our efforts. The Save Your Rainforest® wristband program donates 100% of its profits toward saving your rainforest.

Save Your World entered into a business partnership with Conservation International, who in 2002 signed an innovative agreement to lease 200,000 acres of pristine rainforest located along the upper reaches of Guyana’s largest river, the Essequibo. Under the terms of the agreement, Conservation International pays the government’s Forestry Commission exactly what it would have received had the area been logged. Instead of cutting the trees, the area is protected and kept in its unspoiled state — a conservation concession rather than a timber concession.

With the purchase of each wristband, you’re saving one acre of rainforest for one year. We know this is hard to imagine, but it’s true. We make saving the rainforest easy.


How are we saving the rainforest?

Our rainforest concession aids in protecting the precious wildlife and traditional lifestyle of the peoples who live along the banks of Guyana’s largest river, the Essequibo. Guyana is a small, lightly populated country on the northeast coast of South America. About 75% of Guyana is forested, roughly 60% of which is classified as primary forest. Guyana's forests support extraordinary ecosystems: the country has some 1,263 known species of amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles, and 6,409 species of plants. According to an assessment by the ITTO (International Tropical Timber Organization), Guyana’s forests are highly diverse — ranging from tropical and montane rainforest, to swamp and marshland, to dry, evergreen, seasonal and mangrove forest.

The forests of this small country have come under greatly increased pressure in recent years, as foreign logging companies have been granted felling rights over much of the country’s interior. Such threats seem likely to grow as the country is further opened up by the development of a highway joining Guyana’s coastal capital of Georgetown to the southern border of Brazil.

Indigenous peoples comprise about 6% of the national population, and consist of many groups including the Wai-wai, Wapishana, Akawaio and Makushi.

How can Save Your World offer low shipping costs for its wristbands?

Save Your World wants to maximize the funding for our conservation mission. For this reason, we use the United States Postal Service as the primary courier for shipping our wristbands. Keeping postage costs to a minimum allows the Save Your Rainforest® wristband proceeds to reach their fullest potential.

Just one little wristband can do so much – “1 Product = 1 Acre of Rainforest Saved for 1 Year”.

We support you! April 27, 2008
Reviewer: Lucas Stricker from Tallahassee, FL United States  
Hello! I have really found these bracelets to be a great idea. I work at The Vitamin Shoppe in Tallahassee and we've been selling them very easily. After reviewing your conservation mission I am even more motivated to get the word out. You are all doing a great thing for our planet, and I for one, appreciate that very much.

Response to "recycled" comment April 10, 2008
Reviewer: Save Your World from United States  
Like other wristbands supporting great causes such as cancer and multiple sclerosis, our wristbands are made of 100% silicone. We felt that the net benefit to the environment, after considering the recycled bracelets versus the silicon, the processes used in the recycling process and the costs involved to produce one versus the other, left us with the decision to go with the silicon for its overall impact on the environment and our conservation mission. We donate much more money toward environmental efforts with the silicon bracelet than we could if we used another material, which provides an overall net positive impact on the environment.
