Yoga Democracy is excited to announce that we have joined the 1% For The Planet movement which means that one percent of our proceeds go to bettering our world. Our membership is one more step towards the commitment we made from day one to support work in the areas of sustainability and environmental conservation. We will continue to support the work of Southwest Animal Wildlife in Scottsdale, Arizona with the endangered Mexican Gray Wolf and earlier this year donated a portion of our holiday sales to the Sierra Club. 

 

 

1% for the Planet is a nonprofit organization that connects dollars with doers by linking businesses that contribute at least one percent of annual sales with high-impact environmental nonprofits. 1% For The Planet, a third-party verifier, ensures the business does as promised and the funds are truly used for environmental causes.

More than 1200 member companies in 48 countries give back to the environment through more than 3300 nonprofit partners.

Started in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, former owner of Blue Ribbon Flies, 1% For The Planet helps people buy better products and protect the planet we play on. To date, the 1% For The Planet network has given more than $100 million back to the planet so while it does not sound like much, 1% really is a big number.

To learn more about the movement and find other members who are giving back to the Earth visit the  1% For The Planet website.
