Giving from the top
Friday, August 1st, 20081% For The Planet is a group of companies that have pledged to donate 1% of their annual sales to nonprofit environmental organizations. By donating a fixed portion of their “top line”, these companies are committed to giving through thick and thin.
They’ve just released a new promotional video that they’re showing during Jack Johnson’s world tour. I love Tyler Stableford’s photography, and the soundtrack is great too (Matt Costa):
Since our first day in business, West Arete Computing has been proud to be a member of 1% For The Planet (we’re member #97). It’s great knowing that every project that we’ve ever worked on has resulted in more funding for some of our favorite nonprofit environmental organizations.
It’s been a privilege knowing the people at 1% For The Planet for the past few years. You’ll never find a more driven, energetic, fascinating group of people. It’s been thrilling to watch how much the movement has taken off recently — there are more than 900 member companies now.
Keep your eye out for the 1% For The Planet logo. I keep on finding it in places that I didn’t expect. It’s great to see it on things that you’ve been buying for years.
It’s also great to go to work each day knowing that part of that effort goes towards keeping central Pennsylvania beautiful.
