Top 10 Green Gift Guide

I'm all about being green, but I really need a new TV for xmas too to replace the behemoth I have.  Looked around and found the Vizio Eco and then I saw it at Sam's Club yesterday and it's as pretty as it is green.  Looks almost like an imac.  Super modern and 32" so not too huge either.

Consider giving the gift of a  shorter shower this year.  Ripple Products shower timers inspire water conservation by encouraging shorter showers.  Consider this, if you shorten your shower by four minutes you would save 2400 gallons of water, 274 pounds of CO2 and $78.00 per year.  I personally am down to a three minute shower (most days) and that gives me enough time to condition my hair.

You can find pictures of the timers and  store location at www.azulconservationproducts.com ( http://www.azulconservationproducts.com/ ).

Happy holidays.

I thought your readers would enjoy this indoor container gardening growing activity I do with my students and family in the Fall/Winter. To get your children excited about gardening and more sensitive to plants and nature, consider having them grow a plant that they will never forget -The TickleMe Plant! This is the plant that will close its leaves and lower its branches when tickled. How cool is that!!.  This growing experience allows kids to learn the basic skills needed for gardening. Parents that are interested in sharing their love of plants and nature with their children, can get more information and supplies by visiting http://www.TickleMePlant.com ( http://www.ticklemeplant.com/ ) TickleMe Plants can be grown indoors year round. If you know any students or teachers that would enjoy this exciting gardening and nature experience, share this information with them and they will thank you. This kits are a great green holiday gift as well!

Hi, so I just found this nonprofit called People of Hope Crafts.  They sell items that artisans in El Salvador make.  It is soo neat because the groups include Salvadorans with disabilities, former gang-members and all-women co-ops.  They also have a lot to choose from for gifts and all.  Check m out-  www.peopleofhopecrafts.org ( http://www.peopleofhopecrafts.org/ )

last holiday season i did all of my christmas shopping at this cute store in pittsburgh pa, Fresh Heirlooms (they also have an online store ( http://www.freshheirlooms.com/shop-green-gifts.htm ) now). they have the best green gift ( http://www.freshheirlooms.com ) selection!  all made from 100% recycled and reused products.  i got my dad a recycled clock made from reused bicycle parts, my niece a wall clock made froom pretty pink spouting material, and my friend a bicycle chain bottle opener--they all LOVED their eco freindly gifts.  they also have hand-painted furniture (creative reuse).
