How Your Holiday Gifts Can Fight Global Warming

posted in: gifts | 0

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:

  1. encourage plant-based diets (vegetarian/vegan cookbooks/recipes, a Community Supported Agriculture, aka CSA share)
  2. promote energy efficiency through LED light bulbs
  3. consider alternative transportation: electric bicycle, offer to carpool
  4. buy less, and buy smart. (And maybe think about filling stockings with “experience” gifts in place of short-lived plastic doodads.)
