The Nature Conservancy: Green Gift Monday
By Margaret Southern for The Nature Conservancy
Who doesn’t love shopping online? There are no crowds, no lines and no sore feet at the end of the day. More and more, consumers are skipping traditional Black Friday sales and heading to their computers the first Monday after Thanksgiving. Last year on Cyber Monday consumers spent nearly $890 million dollars online.
One of the other advantages of shopping online is that it gives you more time to think about each purchase – and I don’t mean just considering what color sweater would look best on Aunt Diane. Now is the time to think about responsible, meaningful and eco-friendly holiday gifts. That's the idea behind Green Gift Monday.
Visit the Green Gift Monday hub page for green gift ideas from like-minded nonprofits and eco-conscious retail partners, like Amazon.com. On the Amazon Green gift guide, you’ll find everything from bamboo cutting boards and compost pails for your favorite chef to organic cotton plush toys for the newest addition in the family.
So, go ahead, join the Green Gift Monday revolution and give your loved ones the gift of green this holiday season.
Thanks to Margaret and The Nature Conservancy for this post!

The public may not have known what the messages meant, but it helped pay for them. The skywriting stunt was supported by city and state public funding, according to the High Line's website. http://www.mtsconverter.it "I wanted a narrative trajectory towards something optimistic at the end, which was the last message, 'Now Open,'" she said of the work. http://www.mtsconverter.it/mts-converter-for-mac.htm
