The Green Playroom Announces Partnership with 1% for the Planet
Bismarck, ND, May 04, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Green Playroom joined 1% for the Planet (1%), pledging a portion of its sales to support non-profit organizations focused on sustainability.
"The Green Playroom is a great addition to the network. By signing on to 1%, it shows they’re really walking the walk in their sustainability efforts,” says Terry Kellogg, 1% CEO. “They're using generosity as a tool with which to build their business and enabling valuable environmental work along the way. We're excited to welcome them to the 1% family."
“As a company offering sustainable products for children’s playrooms, it is important to find manufacturers of children’s products who support and give back to the environment. It is equally important for The Green Playroom to do its part for the environment and being a member of the 1% for the Planet community is the perfect avenue,” says Ashley Gutknecht, owner of The Green Playroom. “We’re proud to be a member of this environmentally conscious community.”
Members of 1% contribute one percent of revenues directly to any of the approved non-profit environmental organizations in 1%’s network. Non-profits are chosen based on referrals, track record and environmental focus. Over 2,500 non-profits worldwide are included in the 1% program.
“We’ve been averaging at least one new business member a day, and have nearly 1,400 members in 44 countries. 1% members have contributed over $70 million of critically needed funds into the hands of environmental non-profit groups to date,” comments Kellogg. “We are thrilled by the support we have gained as it proves the environmental ethic is trickling upward to larger corporate entities. The shared belief that you can do well as a business by doing the right thing with respect to the environment is clearly apparent. There’s a paradigm shift happening here and it’s happening organically.”
