Planet Organic Markets Announces Partnership with the Sierra Club of Canada

We’re helping the planet thrive as Planet Organic grows

PLANET ORGANIC HEALTH CORP (TSX Venture Exchange - POH), Canada’s leading natural and organic supermarket chain, announced today that its Planet Organic Markets division has agreed to donate 1% of all net profits to the Sierra Club of Canada, a non-profit environmental organization, beginning this Earth Day, April 22.

“At Planet Organic, we’ve always wanted to do more to help preserve the earth,” says Diane Shaskin, co-founder and Vice-President of Marketing, Planet Organic Markets. “Working with the Sierra Clubs makes us an active part of the solution.”

Kathryn Molloy, Executive Director of the Sierra Club of Canada says, “We feel confident that a partnership will help both of our organizations in reaching our conservation goals. We’re excited with the opportunity to educate and engage Planet Organic’s staff and customer base in our work to conserve and protect ecosystems of Canada.”

The Sierra Club of Canada focuses on developing a diverse, well-trained grassroots network working to protect the integrity of our global ecosystems. Founded in 1892 the Sierra Club of Canada focuses on loss of animal and plant species; deterioration of the planet’s oceans and atmosphere; the ever-growing presence of toxic chemicals in all living things; destruction of our remaining wilderness, and spiraling population growth and over-consumption.

“Earth Day gives us a tremendous opportunity to encourage Canadians to make healthy lifestyle choices and reduce their impact on the Earth’s precious resources,” says Molloy.
