As green as some of us want to be, the hard fact is we're going to part with some cash for consumable gifts for others this holiday season.
There's good news, though. Every year the blog Treehugger runs a list of green gifts for their readers and this year they've tagged each item Light Green, Medium Green, or Heavy Green labels based on... well, they don't actually say what it's based on. But I do hope it's good science.
They've also grouped each by who you're giving to ("The Yoga Fiend", "The Jet Setter", "The Geek", "The Right Leaning NRA Member"... okay, I added that last one in.) and also included a healthy dose of charitable organizations to support.
And, like any good blog on a hot topic, it's chock full of dissenting opinions on the items listed. My favorite, as of today, "Treehugger continues to step farther into hypocricy everyday. Today's stumble: holiday consumerism, part III."
Guess who's not getting any figgy pudding?
There's a retelling of A Christmas Carol here somewhere.
