Roy Young

After years of being driven crazy by watching the peace and environmental groups I worked with scrounge for money, I did something I never thought I'’d do –-- I became a successful businessman in order to have money to give away to groups whose work I admire.

I turned my geology hobby into a successful company that sells minerals and fossils to museums and stores throughout North America. During the last ten years, I'’ve held my living expenses to $15,000 a year and given over $1 million in donations to grassroots environmental groups.
