THE GREAT GREEN GIFT GUIDE 2009

The Greatest, Greenest Gifts for Everyone on your List

By Bonny Osterhage

‘Tis the season for giving and, regardless of the holiday you celebrate, green is always in good taste. No, we are not talking about money — we are referring to eco friendly gifts. The joy that comes from giving green is two fold: First, there is the joy that comes from finding and giving a gift that you know will be cherished. Second, there is the joy that comes from knowing that you are doing something good for the planet we are so blessed to inhabit. It’s a can’t miss, feel good approach to the holidays that will benefit you, the recipient and generations to come.  Happy Holidays!
