Today is all about GREEN Shopping...
One of my favorite go-to sites for unique gifts is Etsy. You can definitely reduce the carbon footprint of your consumerism by going directly to the source, the artist. With purchasing goods handmade by local and global artisans, besides supporting these artists, you avoid the energy use that comes from products being mass produced. You also avoid transportation to and from the mall or stores not to mention, you avoid all the traffic and crowds. It's kind of like shopping both around the world and in your own neighborhood but from the comfort of wherever you find yourself on the internet.
Another site to check out is uncommongoods. Their tag line is "creative living, mindful giving." I am so impressed by this company, read their mission statement to see just what this sustainable green company is all about.
Have you been to the website hipcycle? Here you can find stuff made from other stuff -- not necessarily recycled or organic, but upcycled from material that already exists.
bambeco has eco-friendly home and garden items but don't let the name fool you, they have a lot more than bamboo items at this sustainable company.
Just a few more sites to check out:
Happy Green Shopping!
