How can you contribute to the phytoremediation program?
Incentives, we will give you
If you are not interested in incentives and just fast and simply donate some small amount, the way via PayPal Micro Payments is the easiest method. Just use the button in the right menu bar to access the Contribution page. This brings you to PayPal, where you can either use your own PayPal account, if you have one, or pay by credit card. Input the amount you would like to contribute and use the left PAY NOW button.
However, this option is only available on a merchant account. We have therefore applied under my company’s name J.E. Access Ltd. for the low-cost Micro Payment program that allows the cost-efficient transfer of even small amounts like $1. We save up to $0.2 per payment and pledge to donate the savings to the Sunflower NGOs and groups and DoCoDeMo Eco Car, enabling the self administration councils in the temporary shelters to purchase gasoline for extracurricular activities of the school children and bring seniors to the hospital for free. I think that is in your interest as well.
For manual input, the PayPal Micro account is micro@tohokuearthquake-help.com
For contributions of more than $10, the regular PayPal fee is more economical. This is the second button on the right of the contribution page.
For contributions from $10 up, you can ask us by Email (incentives@tohokuearthquake-help.com) to include you in the list of donors that we will put online and update daily and receive your incentive.
For donations over $10 you will then receive some incentives as a big “Thank You” from Tohoku.
Incentives
From $1 – $9.99
We are grateful for ANY contribution, as a bucket of water is an accumulation of drops and droplets. You will have the warm feeling of participating in and contributing to this important project – member of the world-wide family of concerned people.
From $9 – $19.99
You will receive a Thank You postcard with a picture, drawn by children from schools in the affected areas.
Sample Post Card
From $20 – $49.99
You will receive a personal Thank You postcard with a picture, drawn by children from schools in the affected areas. The postcard will also entitle you to visit the operating plant and observe the activities personally.
From $50 – $99.99
You will receive a “Sakana Eco Tawashi”, a “Fish-shaped Pot Cleaner”. We think that it would be a pity to use the Tawashi, which are hand-knitted by “Umitayori”, a group of women, whose houses were swept away by the tsunami, actually as pot cleaners. But they are nice mementos and come with a Thank you from that group as well.
Too cute for pot cleaners – mementos from ground zero!
Eco Tawashi and Thank You post card
The village was thriving on seaweed and fish industry, but everything was destroyed. The men had no work to support their families and the women started knitting to create some income. We support them with a free microbus for their transportation needs.
The car, we donated to “Umitayori”
Oshika Peninsula – The “Umitayori” group at work
So, even your incentive will contribute to their support as well.
You will also receive a personal Thank You postcard with a picture, drawn by children from schools in the affected areas. The postcard will also entitle you to visit the operating plant and observe the activities personally.
From $100 – $499.99
Your contribution will be displayed with name and amount (opt-out possible) by a plaque on a display panel at the site for the time of the operation of the plant.
