Give and Receive

For every 100 copies of the Things Japanese Paperback that are sold before March 15th, 2010, BionicBong will support $500 to Haiti and these causes:

Clean Water - Charity:Water, World Hunger - World Food Programme, Immunization - GAVI-Alliance, Alleviating Poverty - KIVA

If we sell 100 copies we will support $500, if we sell 200 we will support $1000...You get the idea and now it's up to you how much we support.

Some governments are capping the amount of standby power used by products at 1 watt per appliance.  Is yours?
