I’ll turn it over this week to the folks at the Union of Concerned Scientists. Specifically, the December 2015 blog post titled How Your Holiday Gifts Can Fight Global Warming: 5 Ways to Have a Cooler Smarter Christmas.
The basic gift ideas have the following ideas:
- encourage plant-based diets (vegetarian/vegan cookbooks/recipes, a Community Supported Agriculture, aka CSA share)
- promote energy efficiency through LED light bulbs
- consider alternative transportation: electric bicycle, offer to carpool
- buy less, and buy smart. (And maybe think about filling stockings with “experience” gifts in place of short-lived plastic doodads.)
