I don't like coffee and don't drink it. On my budget I buy hardly anything. I am very much NOT a salesperson--no talent whatsoever for sales. I feel the mug looks about as good as plastic coffee mugs in general. I wish some organization sort of like 350.org would -- instead of just soliciting donations for street theater -- sell in honor donation announcement cards with a choice of e-card or snail-mail post-card and choice of some coal as mineral rights or being guaranteed that the donation would go to donor's choice of two or more kinds of renewable energy. Care2 has a large assortment of cute e-cards for various occasions, mostly free for members to send. I like the idea of combining a donation towards something that would actually do some good like buying fossil fuel as mineral rights to hold it off the market or buying some sort of renewable energy equipment to generate renewable electric power to help the poor either here or in the third world with an e-card that both entertains and informs the recipient about the issues. Maybe that is because I have been volunteering at a non-profit doing back office clerical work mostly for the person in charge of fundraising and they accept in honor and in memory donations and have a fairly nice looking copy of their logo with an appropriate greeting printed on the back of the letter informing the person honored that the donor has donated some money to the organization in their honor.
