You could spend $8,000 on this bottle of beer or you could...
What good could you do with $8,000?

- Donate the money to Kiva and fully fund a couple of entrepreneurs in developing countries.
- Take $7,500 to the last day of your local farmers market and give a big boost to your local farmers. You’ll probably need the remaining $500 for an EnergyStar freezer to hold your bounty.
- Buy $8,000 worth of organic beer or beer made at a sustainable brewery like Sierra Nevada and share it with all your friends.
- Buy 400 bottles of Twitter’s Fledgling Wine, and Twitter will in turn donate $2,000 to Room to Read.
- Send everyone you know a year’s supply of coffee from Land of a Thousand Hills so you and they can “Drink coffee. Do good.”
If you had a spare $8,000 sitting around right now, how would you do good with it?

I WOULD PUT A DOWN PAYMENT ON A HOUSE
I would use the money to give to "Free The Children" foundation, where basically for $4000 they send you overseas to help uild schools and provide clean water for communities. And while you are there you also get to sight see. So it's a vacation for yourself AND you get to help others too!
Also, incensed you ARE in fact a tool. First of all, half those suggestions aren't even towards helping the environment they are more community and humanitarian needs based. Second, what the ****.... More
hehe... Wish j have attleast 5 bottles :P
I'd buy lots and lots of pot.... LOTS of pot
i would buy a **** load of booz and some weed to smoke also...
Unlike 90% of fools, who would undoubtedly rush to spend it on frivolous BS that does little to improve the quality of their lives.
Also, incensed: you are an idiot.
I would buy about 150 quarts of motor oil and dump it in a nearby stream... which is about as ridiculous as your suggestions. When will the green movement see it's spinning it's wheels and wasting all kinds of money and time for no results? (By the way, I would never dump oil - I believe in being a good steward, but not being a holier-than-thou fool).
Or you could do something more than indulge your privileged fantasies. These are your ideas? Rand around much?
I'd buy the antique beer. Everything you mentioned is nice, but current, and as a collector, I'd take the thing that is only going to appreciate in value (though the Twitter wine sounds nice).
