Well, here are some guidelines for environmentally friendly gift giving.
Gift certificates are a great way to give environmentally responsibly.
The theater, the cinema, music concerts, massage, sports events, bus or train pass, restaurants, museums, video stores, shows. Most venues and events will provide certificates. On a similar vein is the gift of a subscription to journals or magazines. Think about giving your time. Think of your elderly neighbors with that yard they can't quite keep up.
