Skip crowds at big-box stores or the mall and shop with certified green businesses that are committed to environmental and humanitarian missions. When you buy green gifts, you’re supporting small-business owners and getting high-quality sustainable gifts made from natural and sustainably-sourced materials.

Buying green gifts is also a great way to introduce friends and family to the ideas of living green and voting with your dollars. When they ask where you got their present, tell them where and why you shop green!
