The company will also be donating part of their profits to grassroots environmental groups as part of the 1% for the Planet organization, a great non-profit that has over 1400 companies that donate 1% of their profits to charities.
I signed up for the site, as I'm always interested in good deals on gear. But I'm also very intrigued by the listing of "travel destinations" as part of the program as well. Can't wait to see what that entails. Guess I'll find out when the site officially goes live next week!
