This year, I'm cutting back on the number of store-bought treasures that I'm handing out. After all, I certainly don't need more stuff, and I figure that most of my friends and family don't need it, either. So instead of baubles and lotions and other knick-knacks, I'm giving gifts to help...
- End hunger and help care for the earth with trees and seedlings from Heifer International
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions with carbon dioxide offsets from Climate Care
- Find solutions to poverty and injustice with Oxfam America, part of Oxfam International
- End violence against women and girls with V-Cards from V-Day
- Give kids a place to play and communities a place to get clean drinking water with PlayPumps
