The holidays will be here before you know it, and with that comes greeting cards. Why not spruce up your holiday greetings and spread some cheer by helping to save endangered species? The US Postal Service has teamed up with photographer Joel Sartore of The Photo Ark to produce a series of twenty stamps commemorating America's endangered wildlife, with proceeds going to endangered species conservation. They're a fun mix of the iconic (sandhill crane, gray wolf, cougar) and more obscure (Wyoming toad, Micronesian kingfisher). You can buy a set of these forever stamps to send out on your holiday cards - or just get a set to frame as wall art. The only sad part is that I can easily imagine another twenty endangered American species for a sequel set... and then another set after that.
