Net profit generated from the sales will be donated to World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF)
Sydney, Australia: July 28, 2011 — Due to the pressures of population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently. Global warming has changed the climate on earth. Heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, blizzards, landslides, earthquakes, and droughts have killed at least a quarter million people in 2010, making 2010 the deadliest year in more than a generation.
To inspire awareness and appreciation for the earth’s natural environment, Kingston, the independent world leader in memory products, worked together with actress, model and charity ambassador Shu Qi, and picture author and illustrator, Jimmy, to create the Kingston Earth Angel USB Drive (Part Number: DTEA/4GB).
Available in 4GB in APAC Region, the Kingston Earth Angel USB Drive is made and packed using environmentally friendly materials. The entire net profit generated from the sales of Kingston Earth Angel USB Drive will be donated to World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF), re-enforcing Kingston’s determination to protect and save our earth.
