"Eyri Cares"                                                                          

Whenever I reach a certain number of books sold, I will then adopt a different animal at Lansing's Potter Park Zoo. When you adopt an animal (some of which are endangered), the money goes directly to the care of that specific animal. So if you buy a book, you are helping animals at the local zoo. Upon adopting an animal, I will get a certificate showing I did, I'll scan any certificates I get and put them on the site. I might adopt other animals here and there as well (on the 25s, 50s, or odd-numbered hundreds), so keep coming to find out!

I also do other kinds of donations and volunteering. Those are listed below the animal donation stuff.

The best way for me to keep track of how many units I've sold is for you to buy a copy through lulu.com. They track how many units I've sold and I can easily check on it at any time. I have to wait a month or so to get sales data from Amazon and other places.  Animals that I have already adopted are listed below the chart.
