Christmas is a day for family, love, and giving thanks for all the blessings we've been given. And although you're probably relieved to have the hustle and bustle of shopping lists and gift wrapping over with, why not take some time today to give back to those who haven't been as blessed? Most charities (like most retailers) depend largely on the Christmas spirit during the holidays to stay afloat throughout the rest of year, so consider giving one last gift this year to a cause you care about. Here are a few ideas:
- The Fresh Air Fund gets disadvantaged kids out of the inner city and into the country to enjoy nature, fun, and (of course!) fresh clean air.
- New American Dream teaches Americans to consume and use products responsibly.
- The David Suzuki Foundation is working to help all people live in balance with the natural world.
