Protect Our Winters uses the funds raised from our corporate and individual members to foster development of projects that have a positive effect on global warming and our winter climates.

Projects such as:

1% For The Planet

Protect Our Winters is working closely with corporate partners to establish retail based programs that give consumers the ability to do their part to fight global warming. POW is a select recipient of funding from 1% For The Planet, enabling corporate partners to channel funds directly to Protect Our Winters.

Since 2002, 1% For The Planet has inspired members of the business community to contribute 1% of sales to environmental groups around the world. These businesses understand that profit and loss are directly related to the health of the environment.

Please email info@protectourwinters.org for more information about how you can participate with POW

Solar 4R Schools

POW has provided funds to the Solar4RSchools program, helping to educate students and teachers on the functions and benefits of solar electric power through donation of a demonstration-scale photovoltaic solar system to the participating school. In addition to producing clean, renewable energy, each school’s solar power system includes a curriculum package that uses the web-based, real-time data generated by each installation to provide students with a comprehensive, interactive learning experience.

My Own Two Feet

POW is supporting “My Own Two Feet” a winter sports film releasing in Fall, 2008 by Leeward Cinema.  “My Own Two Feet” is something new, the first action sports film produced entirely using 100% sustainable techniques.  The film is shot entirely in the California Sierras in places where helis and snowmachines have never traveled - featuring riders such as Jeremy Jones, Stacy Thomas, Danny Garrity, Chris Demolski and many more.   For more informaiton, visit:  www.leewardcinema.com
