1% for the Planet is an environmental alliance whose members give back 1% of their sales to environmental organizations worldwide.

An environmental film festival is a creative way to engage students, educators and the wider community about environmental awareness and sustainability. In 2009, Planet in Focus, in partnership with the Ontario Teachers Federation, assisted four schools in hosting environmental film festivals in their communities including Sault St. Marie, Fort Frances, Dundas and Ottawa. The series of mini film festivals ran throughout the spring and reached nearly 3000 students, educators and local community members.
In the 2010 PIF and the OTF have selected nine communities across the province! We are thrilled about this expansion that will unite communities in the northern, southern, eastern, western and central parts of Ontario through this very special initiative.
Congratulations to the following winning teams across Ontario!
