Go Green this Christmas - gift ideas

user

I was searching the web today looking for Christmas gift ideas and I want the gifts I give this year to promote green living, conservation and  be eco-friendly.  While I am pretty much a conservationist my friends and family could use a little help on what that means and what we can do to protect our earth.  So with that in mind I did a new search and found some wonderful products that promote conservation and a green living lifestyle. I do hope that when you are doing your Christmas shopping this year you will consider the health of our planet.

Here are some ideas and gifts:

    Global Warming is a hoax...know how I know ?

    because the scientists who have been pushing this agenda to line their pockets have had their

    main accounts hacked into ...and their words speak volumes.

    in reply to Sever punishment, I didnt say anything about global warming but the reality is, is that we can not continue to dump toxins and trash into our land and water and toxins into our air say it has no effect. Look at what the oil spills do to our water and the fish.

    I want to be green - I think the book sounds really good. I get mixed messages on what is green or not. Global warming- I don't know, maybe. But we do pollute the earth way too much.
