I think the attached is self-explanatory. Basically, you can send these folks as little as $5 or more, and they will take care of aggregating your contribution with others and purchasing pollution permits under the Clean Air Act in the USA, thus preventing corporations from buying the permits and emitting the pollution. $5 stops 100 pounds of pollutants, and larger contributions are proportionately effective.

Also, if you are feeling energetic, you can probably get them to send you a packet of materials with which you can pester local schools to enlist students in raising funds.
