Planet 8 clothing theme is to "Make a Difference" not only with the environment, but amongst the people in our community." We believe Planet 8 should be world wide to bring all types of communities together as one to, Make a Difference. Our Planet 8 Clothing purpose is to spread our Planet 8 Movement of trying to Make A Difference in this world. We want to promote people to try to be a better pers
on by taking care of yourselves, your community and the environment around you. This type of movement should be not just something someone does occasionally, but to make it become a lifestyle representation of living a better life. Some of the ways we are trying to make a difference is by volunteering in our community. We want to try and help make our communities a better place for people to live in. We feel that everyone is able to easily connect to this lifestyle of supporting something more positive in this world. We encourage positive energy to spread around by having people wear our clothing line and help support the difference were trying to make. The 8 in Planet 8 represents the circle of life of people coming together to better themselves and others. The number 8 is symbolic, for that it has 2 circles in the number. Planet 8 wants to show how the 2 circles represent different types of lifestyles, that can come together as one. Having one thing in common of wanting to live a good life, in a good community of supporting making a difference for something better. A few things we have accomplished by helping out, are picking a service project each weekend where we go out and volunteer in our community somewhere in need. Service project #1 was located at the Palm lakes apartments old golf course. Service Project #2 was located at the San Joaquin River. We went and volunteered with the Hands on Central California Organization and cleaned up different parts of the river. From picking up trash, to removing weeds, and removed yellow star thistle to stop the elimination of the species living in the area. Service Project #3 was a beautification project located at Lafayette Park in Fresno, CA which was Earth Day. We repainted the baseball backstops, removed grafitti, picked up trash and weeds, and made it a safer place for the kids to play on the slides in the playground. Service project #4 was located at Qugley Park which was another beautification project. We picked up trash all around the park. We raked the playground area and tidied up the plant areas around the park. Service project #5 was located at the Fresno Rescue Mission.
