Bono has decorated a Vipp pedal bin for the Vipp Charity Auction for Helena Christensen, along with 40 others, including Michael Stipe and Mario Batali. All proceeds from the auction will benefit Chernobyl Children's Project International and The Food Bank for New York City.
Called "Bono Trash", the pedal bin features a self portrait of the singer, and is dedicated to "H-bomb", also known as Helena Christensen, host of the Charity Auction. Inside the bin will be some handwritten song lyrics including the first draft of a song Bono wrote for Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday.
