When I buy stuff on eBay, I often tick the box at the payment step to "donate $1 to...." - I don't really remember exactly what the donation goes to, but I believe it's often something to do with kids.

It is nice to see this campaigns between poker players. I am an associated of the Rotary International Foundation, which was born in Chicago and then expand worlwide, and i contribute a lot to give better oportunities to the less afortunate.

Whats a eco-friendly poker table? is it made from corn or something? Is wood not eco-friendly, not such an eco person, something ill try to change as only good can come from it.
Usually eco-friendly products are built in plants who specifically subscribe to green energies (ie. wind, solar, even nuclear), and they also use recycled materials in a lot of their stuff. Another thing is the materials theirselves...if they're recyclable, reusable, or may be toxic when disposed of. These are all taken into consideration when manufacturing eco-friendly products.

I don't give large amount in charity, but i keep on giving small amounts in charity that i can afford. That was a very good idea to raise some funds for charity by selling an eco-friendly table signed by poker pros
