Let me introduce Florent- a friend of ours from France! 

Corporate boardrooms begone! Florent, visiting the States from France, is hitting the road on behalf of 1% for the Planet.

He’s left his cush job in PA and is hitting spending the next five months driving across the continent from New Jersey to Mexico, spreading the word about 1% for the Planet and getting the flavor of the US and Canada.

A modern de Tocqueville if you will, but without the political element to the trip!

Florent’s goal is to meet people in the 1% FTP network and also try to recruit new members. In the first two weeks of their trip, they have already visited around 40 businesses in Quebec! We are very grateful for the time and effort that Florent and his family have given to 1% and helping us spread the word! Make sure to check out their blog and feel free to contact us (info@onepercentfortheplanet.org) to see if they will be in a city near you! Safe travels!
