1% for the Planet is fortunate to have friends and ambassadors like Jeff and James, and the 50-plus artists who gave their time and talent to this project. Their images and music resonate, inspiring us all to give back to the planet we love. – Melody Badgett, managing director of 1% for the Planet

There’s an authenticity to the energy you feel when you’re outside, and not even far outside, just right out your door, that can’t be faked, and it can’t be bought. – James Joiner

I have learned that the path is not a physical one and there is no map to find it; rather, it is an idea that dwells in each of us, waiting to be awakened. – Forest Woodward

Those who buy the book will receive a free digital playlist download featuring songs generously donated by artists like Modest Mouse, The Head & The Heart, Deer Tick, The Hold Steady, Jack Johnson, Bahamas, G Love & Special Sauce, and many more.

All of the book’s proceeds will go to 1% for the Planet. Over 1,200 member companies in 44 countries give back to the planet through more than 3,600 nonprofit partners through 1% for the Planet.
