Support Nature on
Make progress with community.
Pollution of our waters, our land, and our sky, is reaching a breaking point. Together, we as outdoor enthusiasts can help support nature every time we seek adventure.
What problems does Canary Upcycled tackle?
Shoe Waste is Piling Up
In the U.S. alone, over 300 million shoes become waste, every year [1].
Microplastics are Everywhere
From the ocean floor to arctic mountains [2], the scale of this problem is still coming into focus.
Air Quality is Getting Worse
From ground-level ozone to fine particulate matter, climate change is hurting our air [3].
BVOCs Need Exploration
The forests are talking. We should be listening.
Water Systems are Collapsing
In addition to widespread ocean pollution, our freshwater systems need vigilance, too.
Citizen Science Growth
The collective effort of outdoor enthusiasts is moving the needle. Join the movement.
How does Canary Upcycled help?
