Default Green iPhone Applications

My business partner and I have decided to write iPhone Applications to help make ends meet. We came up with the idea of creating “Green” percussion instruments for the iPhone. In other words, they are virtual instruments that use no Earth resources to perpetuate (no metals mined, no trees killed). We have created the following applications, all currently available in the iTunes App Store:

Green Tambourine
Green Maracas
Green Cowbell
Green Triangle
Green Cymbals (this one seems to be a favorite !)
Green Bongos (this one too seems to be a favorite !)

We feel very strongly about green causes, and want to do our part to contribute. We have decided to dedicate 10% of the revenue from the sales of these applications to green causes. We have started a Facebook Group called Rocket Hippo (the name of our iPhone Entertainment Group) available at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=53696258853, and we are soliciting comments for where other feel our donations are best distributed. Our website is at http://www.rockethippo.com .

We believe that the extraordinary popularity of the iPhone is a great way to help generate the financial resources so many green causes continually need to keep growing and moving forward. We hope to be able to use this to the advantage of such a noble cause, and to help us make ends meet

How many pounds of CO2 were created by the power plants that generated the electricity to power the computers to develop these apps?

Just kidding. Good luck to you.
