Imaginary Valentine's Day Gift Suggestions from the Sierra Club
Seriously, if you don't have the right kind of girlfriend, this could get you in a lot of trouble. But, if you and your significant other are deeply concerned about conservation, sponsoring a wild area preserve through the Sierra Club could be the most thoughtful gesture possible. The sponsorships choices include Giant Sequoia National Monument, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Yosemite National Park, Yellowstone National Park and Acadia National Park. Donation start at $25, and for that you get a cute stuffed animal puppet and personalized certificate. As the dollar amounts go up, the "thank you gifts" get more elaborate, including back packs and color photos of the area you're saving.
It's not quite the same thing as a pair of diamond earrings, but conspicuous consumption is totally out of style this year anyway. Go wild!
