Get Pumped Instead of an iPhone

July 8, 2007

A water pump instead of an iPhone? How about 4? You’d even have enough money left over to buy a different smartphone.

The manual water pump allows people to access fresh drinking water in their own communities, rather than having to walk for miles to access it. This simple pump alone can save an entire village from hours of labor and keep people healthy.

iPhone 4 Gb: $500, 8 Gb $600. Manual Water Pump: $135.00. For $600 you could buy 4 of them and still get a Treo 680.

Instead of an iPhone Buy a Goat (or 10)!

July 4, 2007

iPhone 4 Gb cost: $500, 8 Gb cost: $600

Cost of a goat: $50. Comparison: One iPhone or 10 goats (or 12 goats).

WWF will give a Mongolian herder a goat. This gift helps stop snow leopards from being hunted if they prey on the herder’s livestock.
