Green in BKLYN is now collecting cash donations for the Red Cross Japan rescue efforts. We’ve got a big old jar on the counter in the shop for your pocket change.  Toss it in!

In addition, we’re hosting a raffle with proceeds from ticket sales also going to the Red Cross. Buy a $1 raffle ticket & be entered in the drawing for basket of green gifts,including a Spare SodaStream CO2 Cartridge!

For folks who have a SodaStream Seltzer Maker, these cartridges are vital for continued access to freshly made seltzer.  Buy a ticket for yourself or someone you know who loves bubbles.  Heck, buy a bunch!

We’ll be hosting the drawing through the month of April.  Buy a raffle ticket, make more bubbles & help lighten the weight of Japan’s heavy load!
