The Lumineers are spotlighting rainforest charity cool earth by donating all proceeds from Christmas single - Blue Christmas

Founded in 2007 by Frank Field MP, Cool Earth works with 118 villages in Peru, Democratic Republic of Congo and Papua New Guinea. They have more rainforest under the 27/4 protection of local people than any other NGO or government. Their patron is Dame Vivienne Westwood. Cool Earth has harnessed the knowledge and ideas of indigenous people to save nearly a million acres of rainforest. This Christmas they are raising money to share those ideas even further and save more rainforest than ever in 2017. You can donate to their Christmas campaign at coolearth.org/forest-of-ideas. The charity also has Christmas gifts available to buy online, including Vivienne Westwood-designed T-shirts, tree sponsorship, and award-winning chocolate made from cacao beans grown by their partner villages in Peru.
