One percent for the planet1% For The Planet
Colorado Runner Events has joined the global movement 1% for the Planet. 1% for the Planet is a growing group of more than 1,000 businesses that donate at least 1% of their sales to a network of environmental organizations worldwide.  1% for the Planet exists to build and support an alliance of businesses financially committed to creating a healthy planet. Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies, started the organization in 2001, and they have raised more than $30 million so far.

When we consider the enormity of the environmental crisis it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. Obviously, the solution is not as simple as changing an incandescent bulb to a CFL. But 1% For The Planet is enabling businesses to take a lead role in being environmental stewards and to set an example for the rest of the business community. These companies embrace the notion that the sustainability of the natural environment is fundamental to the sustainability of business.

The environmental challenges we face are enormous. The need for businesses to lead the way is even bigger. 1% For The Planet offers a simple, tangible and proactive way for the business community to be a part of the solution.
