The disaster in Japan is far from being over as the country is still struggling to control and remedy some of the effects from the tsunami and earth tremors. Just yesterday the  nuclear agency raised the disaster level at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to 7 from 5 on the scale of severity, on par as the Chernobyl incident in 1986. This will make it one of the worst and most dangerous incidents in the world. With close ties to Japan, Jeff Staple and Staple Design are trying to help in any way they can. They are doing so in a simple way. No purchasing a t-shirt or texting. All you have to do it join them for a special gathering and receive a special HELP JAPAN button. Simply donate directly to Japan Red Cross Society on the day of the event to receive a pin.Here is what they had to say about it.

“A red circle.

Anyone who donates or supports gets one. It’s not only a badge of support, it’s a rally cry. We are organizing an event in NYC on Saturday 4/16/11 to bring people together; get them to donate directly to Red Cross Japan and then represent with this button. You don’t have to buy a product. There’s no “portion of sales” of anything…We’re just giving those that choose to support a means of telling the world around them to do the same.

With the help of our friends, we’ve amassed an incredible all-star line up of DJs to provide you with what will be a very special night. Please come out and support, have a good time and GIVE. Japan has given us so much. It’s time to give back.”
