… and another thing

A repository of random thoughts, odds and ends, and not-quite-fully-formed ideas.

A green December

If you’ve still got gifts to buy, here are three I like from the Natural Resources Defense Council’s Great Green Gift-Giving Guide:


—From “Seeds of Change,”:http://www.seedsofchange.com organic seeds, fruit trees and other garden supplies.


—An animal for a poor family in another part of the world through “Heifer International”:https://www.heifer.org. The idea is to give families livestock to help them become self-sufficient.


—A tree from a group called “Tree People”:http://www.treepeople.org in Los Angeles. For $25 it will plant a tree in someone’s honor or someone’s memory. A grove of five for $100.


Too PC for words? Maybe, but so what. They’re better than most of the stuff I find myself buying.
