A few weeks ago at the CSOMA symposium in San Francisco, Honora Wolfe and I got to talking. She told me about something that was near and dear to her heart – the saving of bears. After she explained a bit about what Blue Poppy was doing to help them, I decided that we should pitch in and help out too!
So in a few days you can help a bear in need!
Shop for a Worthy Cause on Oct. 22, 2009 in honor of Acupuncture Awareness Day.
In coordination with Blue Poppy, we will be donating a portion of sales on the 22nd to a worthy cause.
We will donate 5% of all orders and Blue Poppy will be donating 10% of website order to the Moon Bear Rescue project.
A little bit about the Moon Bear Rescue Project: In countries across Asia, thousands of bears live a life of torture on bear farms, so that their bile can be extracted and used in traditional medicine to cure ailments ranging from headaches to hemorrhoids. Bears are confined in cages which vary from agonizingly tiny “crush” cages to larger pens, all of which cause terrible physical and mental suffering. So far, the project has rescued 290 bears from this suffering.
If you are wanting to help save a bear, or two, or three. Please make a purchase from us and/or Blue Poppy on the 22nd.
You get good karma points too!
