Look for locally made gifts – many gifts in today’s marketplace come from halfway around the world, and the impact of transportation contributes significantly to greenhouse emissions and global warming. Local craft fairs and artisan shops are a good source for gifts that come without the added costs of transportation.
Choose gifts made from recycled sources
Re-gifting makes perfect sense. If you receive something you really don\’t need, look for ways you can reuse this gift by passing it on to someone who can use it.
