HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS
 |
GIFT IDEAS FOR THE HOLIDAYS and for the entire year! |
 |
Environmentally minded and health conscious individuals have a distinguished history of using their tremendous power as consumers. For example, choosing organic foods supports sustainable agriculture that is less damaging to the ecology than industrial agriculture practices dependent upon chemical pesticides and fertilizers. The same principle applies to holiday shopping. Flex your consumer muscle and vote with your dollar while supporting your local economy and reducing your carbon footprint!
CCE’s holiday gift ideas grow every year, reflecting the increasing demand for environmentally conscious products. This year, CCE staff compiled ideas inspired from each CCE regional office, including CCE’s newest office in New Haven, Connecticut. Being an eco-savvy shopper is not just about choosing chemical-free products, but also about reducing your carbon footprint by buying locally made products.
Enjoy perusing eco-friendly gift ideas, and please share your ideas with us by sending an email to show email address.
Happy and Healthy Shopping!
