10 Environmentally Friendly Charity Gifts

Good morning! Today is 12/12/12, but I’m not here to talk about the date. No, I’m here to show you these 10 cool charity gifts, which are also healthy for the environment! Some may seem a bit odd, but they’re all worth it, trust me. Well, let’s start!

Gift #1: Dung. Yeah… you probably want to stop reading right about now. Don’t. That’s right, you can buy dung to increase crop yields for just 12$. I promise the other gifts won’t be gross.

Gift #2: Give a butterfly a tree. You can buy a tree for just 25$ to help save butterflies, specifically monarchs. Consider this one to help your winged insect friends!

Gift #3: “Adopt” an octopus. That’s right, you can adopt a cephalopod for 30-70$. When you “adopt” one, the money is put toward protecting marine life from harm. Plus you get all that slimy cuteness.

Gift #4: Save children. For 20$, you can have health educators teach children in poor countries about good hygiene, like hand washing. This will then reduce the risk of diarrhea by 40%, and save children! By doing this, you have saved children and thus have given yourself the title of superhero.

Gift #5: Make yourself a Scottish Lady or Lord, and save land at the same time. Yes, you can actually become a Scottish Lady or Lord for just 50$. In addition to that, you also save about one square foot of Scottish land to protect it from development. A win-win!

Gift #6: Give a family a camel. Most of us can access milk and get around pretty easily these days, but there are still some people who can’t. For those people, give ’em a camel. Not only can the camel be used for transportation, but the family also lives in a place where it’s too hot for liquid, so the camel will provide milk for them! This gift costs 85-850$, so it’s a bit pricey. However, once again, you have proven yourself to be, all joking aside, a hero. Seriously.

Gift #7: A pass for the National Parks. a pass costs just 80$, and you help preserve our land. A pass gives you a year’s access of an unlimited number of great parks!

Gift #8: Bikes, not bombs. I can’t put a price on this one, because it costs any amount. But if you donate a bike or bike part, it will be donated economic development projects in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa.

Gift #9: Adopt a word. Eh… yeah. you’ll be able to discover a new word, and the money will go to helping children with communication difficulties. Yet another win-win! One word is 24$.

Gift #10: Feed a bison for a year. Yes, for just 150$, you can feed your very own bison in the Great Plains or Mexico for a full year so that they have food!

Well, that’s all the gifts for now. Consider buying some of these, and if you don’t, make sure to tell friends and family about it. Don’t forget to comment, and above all, make a change in your lifestyle!
