Buying Gifts

A Sustainable Way of Life. The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Christmas decorations are up everywhere. It’s about that time to rush off to the stores to find the perfect gift for all those on your list. But this year, when thinking about what would be great for that special someone, also think about what would be great for the environment. Here’s what you can do:

• Give gifts like tickets to a concert or a sporting event, a home cooked meal or a night of babysitting.
• Donate to a charity in the recipient’s name.
• Shop at antique stores or flea markets to adhere to the old adage: one man’s junk, another man’s great holiday gift.
