How to avoid the Christmas crowds!
After Black Friday's perhaps overzealous shop fest, maybe you are a somewhat wearied by the idea of heading into the malls for another dose of heady consumerism.
We can save you the trouble if you consider an alternative gift this year.
At SavingSpecies, we have a wonderful project in Colombia to save and restore vital habitat for the amazing Dracula orchid. As an orchidophile, you know how important it is to preserve the wilderness where our beloved flowers flourish best. It is these hotspots of biodiversity where new orchid varieties are discovered, and which provide insight into the biology and ecology of these marvelous plants.
Sooo, here's the suggestion. Instead of yet another tie, CD, perfume, etc. buy your loved one, family member or colleague a piece of Colombian rainforest!
A gift of $80 will buy an acre of land that we'll restore on your behalf, creating beautiful rainforest for countless unique and gorgeous orchids. Even better, because the reforestation is a carbon sink, you are offsetting your carbon footprint. With the $80 land purchase your gift recipient will be carbon neutral for 10 years! Your donation made through our partner, the Environmental Media Association in Hollywood is fully tax-deductible so if you donate today you'll get a tax benefit before the end of the year.
Bear in mind that neither EMA nor SavingSpecies takes a cent in overhead. All donations go entirely to the purchase of land.
