I found this website as I was looking at the Kleen Kanteen website and ran across the website 1% For the Planet this looked interesting so I check it out, the company began in 2002, and 1% For The Planet has recruited businesses from around the globe to contribute 1% of their sales to environmental groups around the world.
What's there?
It is a place to find companies that are making a bit of an effort to help the environment, I really only found one business in Duluth which is called loll designs and they make environmentally sustainable furniture. You can do a search for different categories. They also have an online store.
Why should we visit it?
I figured if I was going to buy something maybe there would be a business that is more environmentally friendly than another business. The idea that they are making an effort to try and give back to the environment and that some businesses are following suit is maybe an avenue to build on. The video from NBC makes the process sound pretty good.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know about 1% for the planet and little did I know, the companies and artists (Jack Johnson) I love are supporters of this cause! Cool. YOU RECEIVE AN ENVIRO-COOL AWARD! Pick it up later today! :)

What a great find! I'd never heard of this before and I think it's excellent! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool because a lot of my organic stuff always said 1% for the planet and I had no idea what it meant! Thanks for the update and I'm glad I was supporting these companies without even trying=) Cool post! I really liked the first video.
