There is an alternative to eroded hillsides, vanishing farmland and forests, polluted water and urban sprawl. Maybe not one big solution, but lots of little ones. Heifer Project believes in small successes. Taking root in one family, one local group at a time, positive and sustainable change branches out to ever-wider communities.
Every project carries a long-term commitment to both people and land.

I am a former 4-H extension agent, so this fits into what I believe. They breathe out oxygen and breathe in carbon dioxide.
