I am a proud 1% for the Planet member and donate 1% of all sales. If you are not familiar, in 2002, Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, created 1% for the Planet and started a global movement to pair businesses and individuals with approved environmental nonprofits, creating high-impact partnerships that amplify the impact of members’ giving.
Each year as the environment shifts and changes my focus will too. This is just the beginning, and I have wild plans of expanding my partnerships further worldwide with multiple opportunities.
So far this year I have kept it local and donated to:
Toxic Free NC.
The Plastic Ocean Project, Inc.
It's not huge, but it's just a start and I am so happy to be able to support the planet through amazing organizations.
