Our 1% for the Planet Pledge: Why Giving Back Isn’t Optional Anymore

Field Trip’s 1% for the Planet pledge is tied to the ways this little adventure is starting to grow — brand partnerships, sponsorships, and now our merch shop too.

Our Field Trip merch is hosted on Bonfire, and we choose their eco-friendly options whenever we add items to the shop. That matters to us. If we’re going to put more stuff out into the world, we want it to be done with as much thought as possible. No random plastic junk. No “buy this because a logo exists.” Just useful, wearable things that feel like Field Trip and line up with what we actually care about.

And if Field Trip earns money by talking about the outdoors, celebrating the outdoors, and encouraging people to spend more time outside, then Field Trip needs to give something back to the outdoors. That should not be complicated.

That is what joining 1% for the Planet means to us

It puts a stake in the ground. As Field Trip grows, a piece of that growth goes toward organizations doing real work for our planet — protecting habitat, restoring damaged places, supporting cleaner air and water, planting trees, fighting wildfires.

This is not a shiny badge to slap on the website and call it good.

It is a starting line.

It is one way of saying Field Trip is not here just to make the outdoors look good in photos. We are here to help people care about it, spend time in it, learn from it, laugh a little along the way, and protect it.

So when you read an article, share a post, open the newsletter, buy something from the Field Trip shop, or support one of our brand partners, you are helping build something bigger than a website.

You are helping turn this into real-world support for the places, people, and wild things that make the outdoors worth fighting for.

We are just getting started.
