Dreaming of a Green Christmas? Gifts that don’t Cost the Earth
Added: (Sun Aug 13 2006)
Pressbox (Press Release) -
In this age of consumerism, especially at Christmas, there is constant pressure on the High Street to buy more things to throw away using more resources and energy. There are alternatives out there that don’t destroy the planet or your finances and give consumers a choice. For the individualist with a green conscience this Christmas who can think of a better way to spend your money than on eco, organic, fair trade and recycled gifts.
Don’t give your hard-earned cash to unethical brands, check out ethical companies and directories such as Green Eyed Frog and ShoutGreen.com for sustainable present ideas. Look out for organic baby blankets, wooden toys, solar and brick construction sets for children. For the 'boys' why not try a rechargable radio or torch. For the 'Girls' a pair of earrings made from recycled plastic bags.
