We can&#8217;thank the forward-thinking company and its customers, who bring in their own shopping bags. Instead of getting 5\u00a2 back through the Whole Foods Bag Refund program, customers can instead contribute the nickel to one of three charities of choice.

There are several ways that people can support Plug In America. One can check with one&#8217;s employee matching program to see if donations can be doubled. Also, Plug In America is on the list of approved charities at eBay, so a percent of one&#8217;s purchase or sale can be directed to us. There area also ways of giving via facebook which I&#8217;ve not yet figured out &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jackthedonkey.com\">Jack the Donkey&#8217;s<\/a> campaign on facebook was one of the most fun. People were asked to get on the site and vote for their favorite group by giving a poop!<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo courtesy of DSB Nola<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>People can give their friends and family <a href=\"https:\/\/salsa.democracyinaction.org\/o\/2711\/t\/11294\/shop\/shop.jsp storefront_KEY=524\">gift memberships<\/a> to Plug In America. Simply make the payment and send us an email at <a href=\"mailto:info@pluginamerica.org\">info@pluginamerica.org<\/a> and we&#8217;ll send an acknowledgment.
