Treehugger Green Gift Guide

Treehugger, one of our favorite sources for green news, recently posted its 2007 Green Gift Guide. Categories include gifts for the epicurean, pet lovers, yogis, the person who has everything, the jet setter, new parents, the outdoors lover, and many more. There is also an excellent tips page on how to be more ecoconscious this holiday season, including replacing holiday lights with LED lights, buying cards made of recycled paper, getting your name deleted from catalog lists, using soy candles, and reducing your number of shopping trips as much as possible. They also encourage gifts of donations to organizations such as those listed below in lieu of the traditional fruitcake no one wants, or sweaters we already have. Happy Green Holidays!
