According to Urban Dictionary (a credible source, obviously), a greengasm is "the warm and fuzzy feeling one gets after becoming ecologically enlightened; usually induced by listening to a ruddy South-Westerner talk about off-the-grid construction, having an Australian permaculturist walking you through a food forest, or watching a Discovery Channel film about nature." Whether it's your Berkeley-alum sister or yoga teacher, there's always one person in your life that puts your eco-friendly game to shame. While you've been a sporadic vegan for years, they live and breathe veganism, down to their animal-friendly clothing. While you use a canvas bag for grocery shopping, they've designed a line of organic tote bags for Earth Day. And the fact that they're obscenely nice and never preachy makes you hate them even more—but really you love them and are just envious of their willpower. To give thanks to this giver, here are a few greengasmic items they're sure to love.
