Announcing the 1% music badge

To support the recent launch of the 1% all-digital album, we just released this web badge (above) to make it easy to share the album online. The badge is a new way for the extended 1% community — from 1% album lovers, to member companies, to 1% environmental non-profit partners, to 1% friends and supporters — to build some buzz about this great album and 1% for the Planet.  Will you join the effort?

Here’s how to join:

1. Visit the share page of our new music site.
2. Choose a badge size that will look good on your site, then post it.
3. Then, show us where you put it by submitting your site address using the form on the share page.

When you enter the location of your badge on our share page form, we’ll check out your site and add you to the list. Help us reach 100 badges and we’ll list your site on our blog. Our team will be using our Twitter account, @1percentFTP, to highlight some of the great badge sightings you share with us along the way.

And if you don’t have a blog or website, the image can go practically anywhere. (We put the image on our facebook page and YouTube page, and are exploring ways to fix it to Fenway’s water dish.)

Still wondering what a badge is?

Think of it as the online counterpart to a bumpersticker for your car, or a charity ribbon to pin on your jacket. A web badge is a small image you put on your web site that calls attention to something special — a club you’re a part of, a standard you’ve met, or a cool offering.

What is the 1% album?

1% for the Planet: The Music, Vol. 1 is a compilation of more than 40 rare and exclusive songs donated by leading artists to supporting non-profit organizations working to create a healthy planet. The album aims to accelerate the 1% movement by engaging more people and inspiring more companies to join. Go to our music site to sample tracks, see what the artists are saying about the album, and download the music.
