EtsyVeg Ten Percent for Peace

I posted about a promo I'm doing for the EtsyVeg team in my last entry where 10% of all my sales will go to a charity. This entry goes in to more detail about it.



Join the EtsyVeg Team this week as we promote Ten Percent For Peace. All this week, November 30-December 6, members of our team will be offering great handmade items for you or your loved ones. Through the generosity of the season, all sales this week in participating shops listed below will be donated to a great organization called Food Not Bombs and their Dollar for Peace campaign.



Every year there are millions of people who go with little to no food. They suffer from hunger, and often malnutrition as a result. There are, luckily, many organizations and programs that work to provide food for people who do not have enough.

Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer global movement that shares free vegetarian meals as a protest to war and poverty, believing that money spent on sustaining warfare could be used to feed the millions of people starving across the globe. Dollars for Peace, a program run by Food Not Bombs, have roughly 400 chapters around the world that work to provide free vegetarian and vegan meals for people who would otherwise not have enough or any adequate food.

Dollars for Peace is able to provide about 4 meals for as little as $1.00. That means that like many organizations of their kind, they are able to provide a lot of healthy, sustainable food for people. Through providing food for people, they are making sure those people are taken care of in some small way.

Shop handmade for the holidays with EtsyVeg shops all this week and help us to raise support for Food Not Bombs! Feel great supporting local and small businesses and artisans who create each and every item in a unique way, and helping an organization that works to help people create a more peaceful world while combatting the serious problem of world hunger!

Visit the following shops this week to find great items, and in some shops, great sales or special offers!

I put a star next to my shop. I'm also offering free shipping all December so you'll get a discount while also helping this charity.

In other news, I started trying out Google Wave (which is still in a BETA stage). Google Wave is this new website where you can basically communicate with people. It's kind of like an e-mail and chat on one and it lets you easily share stuff such as maps, photographs, video, blogs, etc. It's good for working on group projects, planning events or just for talking with people. I'm hoping I'll find some good uses for it. I've been playing around with it, but it's more fun if you have other people to try it with. I have 8 invitations. If you want an invite, let me know and leave your email in the comments.
