User post: I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas - eco-friendly gift ideas!

Carol Belanger

With Christmas just around the corner, I am sure you have starting considering gift ideas. However, have you thought about eco-friendly gifts? Giving the gift of "green" sends the message that you are an environmentally aware consumer and that you care about our planet. While there are probably many people that think "green living" is just some sort of catch phrase, in reality "green living" does lessen our footprints on our planet.

So, with that in mind I have comprised a list of "green" products that are great Christmas gifts and easy on the environment. The recipients of these gifts will be pleased that you have made a conscious choice to care about our planet.
