Buy One, Give One – Goal Zero’s Pledge

In the wake of the deafening damage caused by the Superstorm Sandy, Goal Zero, manufacturers of portable solar powered solutions to power generation have made a huge statement and pledge to those plagued by the disaster that recently fell upon the Eastern Coast of the United States.  This humble company trying to make the world a better place with “Zero” emission power generation has made this statement:

While water pours into low-lying areas of New York and New Jersey, team members at Goal Zero are hard at work assembling portable power kits that will provide some relief to those most in need. These kits will power everything from cellphones to emergency lights, as well as critical home and health machines. And this is only the first step in the Goal Zero’s relief efforts.

“We want to help as many people as we can, as quickly as we can,” said Joe Atkin, President and CEO of Goal Zero. “Our first plan of attack is to send out what we already have in our warehouse to help areas that are without power. After that, we’ll be calling on the help of everyone in Goal Zero Nation. We will match sales from our participating retailers, as well as our online store, and send out that in relief aid.”

Beginning Thursday, November 1, through Monday, November 15, Goal Zero will be initiating a “Buy One, Give One Sandy Relief Program”, tracking purchases made at participating retailers as well as their online store, and matching the same amount to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, in the form of portable solar-power solutions. The company’s products provide the means to bring safe, reliable power to the tens of thousands of people who are currently living in a blackout.

“Not only are we going to deliver power to people in need,” Atkin said, “we’re also giving the opportunity for everyone, everywhere to be a power of good by contributing to the relief effort. You will be contributing to products that help run lights, enable communication, and give vital power needed to operate medical saving devices.”

Goal Zero has a goal of bringing power to the masses, and in this time of need from now until the 15th of November they are pledging the best they can, free renewable power to those who are stricken without it.  

Please, even if you can’t make it to the areas of great devastation, you can still help.  Pick up a Goal Zero product for yourself and you will hook someone who is in great need up with their own.  Many wake up everyday wondering how they can give back to the country in which they live and want to help make someone’s day a little brighter, here is your chance to make a difference in someone’s life and help to bring them a little solar powered love for light, heat, or even a quick charge on their wireless device we have all come to love so much.  If you can’t make it there to help, you can help Goal Zero get there.  This is one opportunity where the actions of one can truly affect and help the lives of many.
