One Percent for the Planet Update
Last August Trailspace joined 1% For The Planet, an alliance of companies that each donate at least one percent of their annual sales to environmental organizations.
We just finished our 2006 donations and are excited to report where our first year's contributions went. We selected a range of international, national, regional, and local organizations working toward protecting and enhancing the wild lands and natural world we all enjoy. Learn about the organizations we supported in 2006 and suggest worthy recipients for 2007.
