The enormous love our customers showed to the planet on Black Friday enables us to give every penny to hundreds of grassroots environmental organizations working around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these environmental groups are underfunded and under the radar, and they are overwhelmed with your commitment. On behalf of these activists and every Patagonia employee, we extend a heartfelt thank you to our customers, friends and community worldwide who showed up to #loveourplanet.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about the past recipients of Patagonia environmental grants in your community here &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/grants-listings.html\">www.patagonia.com\/grants-listings.html<\/a> .

We\u2019re encouraged to see the great interest from so many in making buying decisions that align with strong environmental values\u2014and taking steps to get more directly involved as well.<\/p>\n<h3>1% For The Planet<\/h3>\n<p>Patagonia is a proud member of 1% for the Planet, an alliance of businesses that understand the necessity of protecting the natural environment, and are concerned with the social and environmental impacts of industry.
