Wanting to find a gift for my mom, who’s in the hospital recovering from surgery, my sister suggested Organic Bouquet, which sells organically-grown cut flowers. My mom’s a plant lover and we wanted to get her something that wouldn’t die. Flowerpetal.com sells plants, and contributes to carbonfund.org, providing carbon offsets for all the plants flown around the world. They ship peace lilies, one of the few indoor plants that flowers in low light conditions. It’s also reportedly one of the best plants for indoor air pollution abatement.

While I’m not sure how effective carbon offsets are in mitigating climate change or in reshaping the economy, I can only hope it’s the thought that counts.
