I'm going to post ideas for giving holiday gifts that are kind and gentle to our planet.
This is my first post, and I'm hoping my very smart and eco-minded friends will chime in and make additional recommendations. I'll post these at least once/week between now and the big X day.
Idea #1: Adopt an Acre or a Reef
Check out the Nature Conservancy's site that explains how you can save an acre of rain forest from development or help protect fragile coral reefs. Both start at $50. While that might be a bit pricey on a single budget for someone like your boss, I think this would make a delightful group gift!

Oh, what a good idea! I love the Nature Conservancy but had not thought of giving gifts this way. Thanks
I also like the Heifer Project. http://www.heifer.org/
Fair trade products also make great gifts. Fair trade helps to promote sustainable development for excluded and disadvantaged producers. To learn more check out Ten Thousand Villages, http://www.tenthousandvillages.com
Here you can find a store near you or order on line.
