1% for the Planet Music Fundraising Campaign

Music is definitely one of my passions, and so is the environment. That's why I was interested to hear about the 1% for the Planet Music Fundraising Campaign.

It's billed as "Quite possibly the most important album ever made." That's a pretty bold statement considering what "We Are The World" did for Africa in the 80s.

The quick summary of 1% for the Planet is it's a growing global movement of over 1,100 member companies, small and large, that donate 1% of their sales to environmental organizations worldwide.

Here is more info on 1% for the Planet and what it's all about:
