Commemorative
Buckminster Fuller
Edition Buckyballs.

The late R. Buckminster Fuller was an Architect. Designer. Inventor. Visionary. Genius. He also had one helluva great name. So great, in fact, that we decided to honor him when we named Buckyballs.

And now, we're giving back with our brand new Commemorative Buckminster Fuller Edition Buckyballs. All profits from the sale will go to the Buckminster Fuller Institute, and for every set sold we'll plant a tree for the carbon offset. Learn more here.

Pay tribute and help the Earth? How fun is THAT?

Orders placed within THE NEXT 8 HOURS AND 27 MINUTES ship first thing TOMORROW!

The Buckminster Fuller Institute is dedicated to accelerating the development and deployment of solutions which radically advance human well being and the health of our planet's ecosystems. We aim to deeply influence the ascendance of a new generation of design-science pioneers who are leading the creation of an abundant and restorative world economy that benefits all humanity.

Our programs combine unique insight into global trends and local needs with a comprehensive approach to design. We encourage participants to conceive and apply transformative strategies based on a crucial synthesis of whole systems thinking, Nature's fundamental principles, and an ethically driven worldview.

By facilitating convergence across the disciplines of art, science, design and technology, our work extends the profoundly relevant legacy of R. Buckminster Fuller. In this way, we strive to catalyze the collective intelligence required to fully address the unprecedented challenges before us.

For every set of Buckminster Fuller
Commemorative Edition Buckyballs
sold, we’ll plant 1 Tree with the Marion Institute
Las Gaviotas Carbon Offset Initiative

The Marion Institute coordinates planting your tree with the
eco-village known as Las Gaviotas. It is a research center
located in eastern Colombia, South America. It is the only
project in the world with a twenty-three year track record of
the sustainable regeneration of tropical rain forest.

Participating in this initiative contributes to a 144,000 tons of
carbon offsets annually. This tonnage of annual carbon
sequestration is calculated using formulas developed in
response to the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming known as the
Kyoto Protocol. The 8,000 hectares of existing maturing tropical
rain forest is the source for this annual tonnage of carbon offsets.
