Care 2 Shop?

With the$800 tax rebate the President is granting us this year we're being encouraged to get out and shop – put money back into the economy in hopes that it will spur an economic revival and forestall imminent recession, at least until a Dem gets into office and take the heat.

If you do decide to follow his advice and spend your windfall, as opposed to, say, reducing your own personal debt, getting that leak in the roof repaired or donating it to a charity, you can still come out smelling sponsible all over.

Care2.org is a global network of people who, like us, are out to change the planet for the better. The site is incredibly comprehensive and offers sponsiblists of varying persuasion the chance to get their cause on.

Over at their store you'll find a ton of cool, green products on which you can spend your tax rebate. The irony of making a conscious purchase with your money is that you'll be doing exactly as the prez recommends, only instead of your dollars trickling down into the pockets of his corporate cronies they'll be going towards preservation interests. Perfect!
