So I am absolutely in love with the idea behind the Toxic Drop. I think it's great that Gaia is trying to do their part by raising funds to help clean up the BP oil spill. (Though I'd like it better if 50% or more was going to the clean up effort) But I can't buy one!! crying

What do you guys think?

-Should Gaia do more charity work?
-Would you be more willing to buy cash items if part of the proceeds were donated?
-How much do you love that little turtle?!

Agreed. I totally love the Gaia admins for always doing charity work. I remember they did stuff for Haiti, and other local things too. I wish that more of the proceeds went to the relief too, but they are a business and need profit as well. It's the thought that counts though, for sure. I can't afford to buy one right now, either... I'm hoping that they'll hold out on the items for a while because I may be able to get it in a few weeks hopefully. whee And all of the poses are cute. Those poor cute sweet animals! D: The footage of the current animals in the coast are so sad...


...But we must wait for the opportunity to fly...

I know they're a business. (I'm usually the one pointing it out!) but it seems to me that it doesn't take a lot of money to create some pixel pictures and that they could donate a little more. But of course if I really felt strongly that way I'd just donate $5 to the clean up myself! lol
I will not be able to get one I don't think. Unfortunately I don't have any money coming my way any time soon. Hopefully I'll be able to get one from the market place eventually!

imo opinion, they better be dishing out our cash to charities, cuz some of the items are priced ridiculously esp. with all those boxes.

I'd rather they did charity then try to temp young internet users with cash shop items every week, sometimes twice a week.

At least that way it is going to a good cause. 3nodding
