Outdoor-blanket maker Rumpl embodies the ethos that as much as we need protection from nature, it also needs protection from us. Last year, through its 1% for the Planet commitment, the Portland, Oregon, company gave nearly $350,000 in monetary, volunteer and product support to organizations such as the Save the Waves Coalition and Washington’s National Park Fund. All net proceeds from the blanket that depicts Haleakala National Park ( $125, pictured) go to the Hawai’i Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund, which supports recovery from the August wildfires. Other designs are also available, whether your favorite national park is Acadia or Zion.
