The Angelina Jolie of Olive Trees

If you have an extra $90 sitting around and a long-standing desire to tell people at cocktail parties that you own an olive tree in the Italian countryside (and, really, who doesn’t these days?) then this site is for you. For just under a hundred bucks per year, you can adopt an olive tree in Italy. There’s no word if the tree will send you letters telling you about its progress, but you will get some of its goods—two liters’ worth.

I think this is a great idea, especially since I do the same thing in Spain.
We also do our bit to save the planet, well, our little bit of it, with whatever money we raise from the adoption of our trees.
