Protecting the Environment Via 1% for the Planet
Taking an eco-conscious approach to business practices is crucial in today’s changing world, and
many companies are working together for this common cause. Various entities—from nonprofits
to startups—are determined to lessen their carbon footprint and help preserve the environment
for future generations. One umbrella organization that is making all of this possible is 1% for the
Planet.
What is 1% for the Planet?
1% for the Planet is a complex organization of businesses, nonprofits and individuals that are
working together to protect the earth. Because the current funding for environmental
preservation is only 3%, 1% for the Planet focuses on smartly and consciously spending these
allocated donations.
What is Patagonia and how is it similar to MUSTASH Brands?
Patagonia is a worldwide retailer of clothing and gear for “silent sports” (activities that don’t
require an engine, such as climbing, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fly fishing, mountain biking
and trail running). Both Patagonia and MUSTASH Brands help the environment via 1% for the
Planet by committing 1% of their annual earnings to the organization.
How does 1% for the Planet help the environment?
1% for the Planet helps the environment by focusing on six core areas (climate, food, land,
pollution, water and wildlife). The organization gives generously to nonprofits, individuals and
businesses (like Patagonia and MUSTASH Brands) that are committed to these causes. Every time
you make a purchase at MUSTASH Brands, you are helping protect, restore and advocate for a
better planet.
