THE GREEN THUMB IS WITH YOU!

If you'd care to become a PlantIdeas supporter, we now have a relatively easy-to-use method, PayPal, which sounds friendly and comes with such a small, cheery graphic that we put it up twice. Why? How? See our FAQ.

PlantIdeas SUPPORT FAQ
Why We Find Ourselves Dependent on the Kindness of Strangers

What is the PayPal?
PayPal allows you, the visitor, to show your support and/or appreciation for PlantIdeas with a financial contribution. To do so, you can click on one of the boxes above. The transaction is done via credit card through PayPal's servers.

Are they secure servers?
We believe so, but servers are not particularly introspective, so it's difficult to tell.

Can't we just support you directly?
Well, if you'd rather send a check or money order, you can send to:
Overpass Internet Services, Inc.
P.O. Box 2199 .
Auburn, WA 98071-2199

Wait, PlantIdeas has ads. Why should I give anything if it makes money on banner ads?
The road to Chapter 11 is paved with ad-based revenue models. As many of you know, the only models less productive are selling pet supplies online, or launching a free song-swapping service. PlantIdeas covers some expenses with ads, but overall, the content you see is produced at a substantial loss. I'd like to trim that down to "moderate loss." Yes, this site is the creation of one person with a family.

I don't know how much to give. How much is PlantIdeas worth?
As always, a good rule of thumb is to spend two months salary on Plantideas. Hey, it works for diamonds.

Does PlantIdeas get to see my credit card information, or find out how much I gave, or who I am?
No, maybe, and maybe. We don't see your Credit Card info - have nothing whatever to do with that. If you use PayPal, we will be told who you are and how much you gave.

What will my money be used for?
Well... If you send it via PayPal... it will most likely we will use it to provide micro loans to small businesses in developing countries via Kiva. Yes, believe it or not...this is really fun and rewarding. If you send a check, we will probably just cash it and buy office supplies and lunch depending on the amount.
