Environmentally Friendly Gift Suggestions for the Holidays

There are many people on this planet that remain blissfully unaware that we are depleting our natural resources faster than they can be replaced. For these people recycling seems like too much work, and when asked whether they want paper or plastic they inevitably choose plastic; and while they probably have at least heard the term environmentally friendly they are pretty clueless about terms such as environmental integrity, social justice, and sustainability. However, there are those out there that are very clued in to environmental issues. These people understand that saving the planet begins with making environmentally responsible and health minded purchases: those that don’t cause damage to the environment when produced or disposed of. The holidays are quickly approaching. If you have someone on your shopping list that lives their life to make a difference in the world but you are not as environmentally aware, fear not! Here are some eco-friendly (green) gift suggestions you can purchase online that are sure to please.


1. www.organicbouquet.com: Organic Bouquet offers a large variety of floral gifts from growers who strive for the highest social and environmental standards. Crops are grown and harvested with an emphasis on minimizing damage to the ecosystems and enhancing environmental quality for future generations. The average price is around $45 and they offer incredible arrangements such as a dozen lavender roses for $49.95 and the bluest blue irises, 15 for $44.95.

2. www.bonsaiboy.com: A live gift such as a green plant is always a welcome gift for anyone who is environmentally aware. For an unusual green plant why not try a flowering Bonsai tree from Bonsai Boy? Bonsai trees are not your typical houseplant and offer a unique gift option when a houseplant just won’t do. Give a gift that grows starting at under $30.
