How Much Money is The Planet Worth?

1% For The Planet (1% FTP) is a corporate philanthropy network co-founded by Yvon Chouinard, of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies. The goal of the 1% FTP is to support environmental nonprofits through corporate giving, with each member organization pledging 1% of its annual profits. The network now has over 1,200 members and its model was praised by Fast Company as the "philanthropic gold standard."

Take a look at the video and tell us what you think in the comments section below. What if all corporations donated 1% of their profits to environmental causes? Should an environment tax such as this be mandatory? How much is the planet worth? Is one percent enough?
