A couple tips:

Look for locally made gifts - manygifts in today's marketplace come from halfway around the world, andthe impact of transportation contributes significantly to greenhouseemissions and global warming. Local craft fairs and artisan shops are agood source for gifts that come without the added costs oftransportation.

Choose gifts made from recycled sources.

Give `battery-free' gifts - According to the EPA, about 40% of allbattery sales occur during the holiday season. Discarded batteries arean environmental hazard.

Re-gifting makes perfect sense. If you receive something you reallydon't need, look for ways you can reuse this gift by passing it on tosomeone who can use it.
