One Percent for the Planet
1% for the Planet is a coalition of businesses who pledge 1% of gross sales towards the environment.
We were inspired to join the movement after reading Let My People Go Surfing by Yvon Chouinard. Velocitek has been a member since April 2006. The following are the causes we have donated 1% of our sales to.
The Leeward Haleakalā Watershed Restoration Partnership (LHWRP)
"The Leeward Haleakalā Watershed Restoration Partnership (LHWRP) is a coalition formed in June 2003, by 11 private and public landowners and supporting agencies. The 43,175-acre partnership’s goal is to restore koa forests on Haleakalā from Makawao through ‘Ulupalakua to Kaupō between 3,500 and 6,500 feet elevation."
