Our good friends in Hermosa Beach, California, are hosting a phenomenal beach party in honor of our planet – and to benefit 1% for the Planet. You’re invited!
At 12 noon the Hermosa Beach Green Expo opens along the pier. Exhibitors will give you the opportunity to learn what strides this community is making in encouraging their local businesses to make a commitment to the planet, and how you can help!
Be sure to stick around for 6 pm as all are welcome to boogie down to the California reggae vibes of Rebelution, all to support 1% for the Planet with the Hermosa Beach community!
It’s a FREE show– and is going to be a rocking day on a stunning stretch of Southern California beach. Including booths with green goods and services, environmental non-profits, and a blowout music concert to boot- this party is surely one not to be missed!
Mark your calendars for Sunday, July 26th and do swing by the 1% for the Planet booth to say hello – we look forward to seeing you there!

Clif Bar & Co., one of 1% for the Planet’s 1,100+ member companies, recently joined BICEP, a coalition of businesses calling for meaningful federal climate and energy legislation. Clif Bar is one of eleven businesses to sign on to the program which was launched in November 2008 by Ceres. BICEP advocates nine core principles which they believe will help simultaneously pave the way toward economic recovery and a solution to our global climate and energy problems. BICEP’s principles call for more aggressive action than the unrelated USCAP, an alliance of large businesses and non-governmental organizations currently working with members of Congress to develop a climate and energy bill.
Way to go Clif Bar – and all of our 1% members – for continuing to push the envelope in the business community!

The 1% for the Planet program is set up so that members donate 1% of their annual sales directly to the approved non-profits of their choice. This opens the doors for some wonderful partnerships and relationships. In turn customers of 1% members gain a more tangible understanding of just what the 1% for the Planet commitment means, and what exactly their purchase power supports.
Our featured partnership today highlights member musician Megan Slankard with newly approved non-profit, Wilderness Institute for Leadership Development – WILD.
Partnerships like Megan’s work with WILD are examples of 1%’s model at its best, where relationships between the member and non-profit include giving personal time and effort. As you can see here, this can be a lot of fun!
We applaud Megan for donating her time to help educate participants on an 8-Day Colorado River College Study Course hosted by WILD. Know you’re invited! If you can’t make it, we encourage you to pick up one of Megan’s cds. Your purchase will land you not only some great music, but also help ensure that WILD can continue on with their devoted educational programs about and in the great outdoors.

Howdy! This is Grady O’Shaughnessy, the newest addition to the 1% crew, comin’ at you live from the 1% mothership in the beautiful Waitsfield, VT. Kate normally keeps you updated with all things blog-worthy but since we’re just a few hours past St. Patrick’s Day – and I’m 1%’s resident Irishman by default – we figured it’d be appropriate for me to jump in and say hello.
I had the good fortune of representing 1% for the Planet at the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim, CA earlier this month. Never had I ever seen such a beautiful sight – so many 1% members in one place. Under the roof of the colossal Anaheim Convention Center, there were some 3,000 vendors and 50,000 people milling about like moths to an organic, fair-trade, soy, soot-free votive candle, all drawn to the West coast-Mecca of the latest and greatest natural and organic products. There was something for everybody - from skincare, supplements and other goodies for low-impact lifestyles to wonderful, wonderful food – from chocolate to pizza and flax oil to energy bars. So much wonderful food, in fact, that for two days, I didn’t buy a single meal. Free samples of delicious organic treats at every turn are hard to pass up..
One of the groups displaying their latest and greatest was the crew from Clif Bar & Co., a 1% member company for several years. As usual, there was quite a buzz around their booth. In addition to introducing a new mostly-organic drink, Clif Quench, to the world, they revealed new packaging which proudly features the 1% member logo on the back of many of their brands.
Thanks to Clif, Klean Kanteen, Galaxy Granola, Good On Ya, SIGG, and the other 1% members at the show for doin’ what you do and spreadin’ the 1% love and message to all. May the movement prosper!
Until next time… May the luck o’ the Irish be with y’all.

Nope, no tricks here folks, we like keeping it sweet – acclaimed singer/songwriter Jackson Browne has joined 1% for the Planet!
On a hiatus for releasing an album now for six years, you’ll know Jackson Browne for such hits as “Running on Empty,” “Somebody’s Baby,” “The Pretender” and “Stay” among many others. With his newest release in the midst, Time The Conqueror, 1% for the Planet received a phone call about membership. Out in stores now, be sure to pick up a copy of Time The Conqueror today! Jackson’s new material is more than great, we have a few favorites here in the office, and we are particularly pleased with his prominent use of the 1% for the Planet logo on the back of the album, and on his website – shown above! Welcome Jackson, it is wonderful to have you on board.
