Green Gifts: Easy Eco-Friendly Gifts.
We all want to do the right thing for our planet. Especially when it comes to giving gifts.
Here are 3 ways to help can lessen the impact of gift-giving on the environment.
1 Bring it.
Take your own canvas bag or reused shopping bags when you head out to secure that perfect gift.
Look for gifts that use the least amount of packaging.
2 Eco-gift it.
Remember that the best gifts come from the heart - not necessarily the department store.
If you do choose to buy something new, look for gift items made from recycled materials, or those that can be recycled or reused.
A few Earth-friendly gift ideas to get you started:
1 Membership in an environmental organization.
2 Hand-made items of recycled materials.
3 Gardening tools.
4 Long-lasting gifts that benefit the environment.
These include possibilities such as a solar battery charger (with batteries), or water-conserving shower-heads.
5 Eco-friendly tokens of affection.
For your significant other, consider giving a weekend getaway to a bed-and-breakfast (you can go, too) or a bike-riding excursion.
6 Kids' gifts.
Create a certificate for excursions such as a whale-watching or camping trip.
