According to a media released posted with SNEWS the album sell for $9.98 (Does that old trick still work? What is wrong with an honest $10?) Apparently Apple’s iTunes will carry the album, but something called an ‘eco-download card’, made of recycled materials, will also be available from bricks and mortar retail stores, beginning with 25 Patagonia stores, over the US holiday period.

With this card music lovers, and environmentalists will be able to download tracks by entering the card’s code at http://music.onepercentfortheplanet.org, as an alternative to pumping out more polycarbonate plastic CDs.

There will also be a 1% For the Planet ‘music widget,’ which is aid to contain video of Jack Johnson and Emmet Malloy talking about 1%. Additionally the widget will provide streaming clips of each song and allow the purchase of either individual tracks or the whole shebang. The music widget is embeddable , so individuals and 1% non-profits can promote the album.
