Let Wired help you pick out a shiny new gadget for your special geek.
If you’re wondering what to get for a social entrepreneur, Social Edge has you covered. (If you’re just wondering what a social entrepreneur is, click here…)
Treehugger and the Ontario Cooperative Association have some (comparatively) sustainable suggestions for your favorite activist, while Grist reminds us that the most sustainable gift of all is “stuff-free.”
