Alternative Gifting

I stumbled upon this site not so long ago and happily gave an ecofriendly gift. This is a great alternative during this highly consumerist season. My favorites are the goat and lemur programs that give to people in third world countries while at the same time fostering ecological stewardship. Not a new idea but certainly a novel one. Please check out Conservation International for more, or look up local charities this season as well, or perhaps even instead of buying a plasma screen in the new year, think of donating some. Americans realy are the most charitable people in the world, and the holiday season is the perfect time not only to tell someone you love that you care but also to show the world that you do and work to make it a better place whether with a monetary donation or with your time and care. God Bless, hoping everyone had a merry Christmas, and will have a bright new year (when of course you loyal Current fans will be tuning in for the ever ecological Radiohead and their new performance of In Rainbows exclusively here at Current!)
