Filed in: Products & Services, Shopping

The season of giving is upon us and though reducing the amount of gifts purchased during the season will have a great impact, so will buying green gifts. Green gifts are generally more environmentally friendly than their traditional Christmas counterparts. Green gift can be either material items or services.

Some ideas for green gifts include:

  • products made from recycled materials
  • gift certificates or tickets to concerts, theater productions or sporting events
  • an annual pass to our National Parks
  • a carshare membership or bus passes
  • green energy credits for you home, computer or laptop
  • composters or rain barrels
  • seeds for flowers and trees
  • clothing made from organic cotton
