I've been a scattered gift-giver in the past few years, due to funding issues and an annual denial about the holidays that lasts until about December 17th. I'm going to try to be better this year. Luckily, Carrie's written up a fabulous gift guide to help me get on with it without troubling my eco-conscience.
One of the more interesting bits she mentions is carbon offsets for travel, which I had seen written up in NRDC's OnEarth. I thought I had done my part by purchasing a Honda Civic, but there's always another small step to take. Mental note: revise budget to include carbon offsets for trips to California and Colorado this year.
Also check out Green House Framing, which uses reclaimed lumber and friendly stains to make picture frames. They have premade, or you can get cusom orders. Very pretty!
Or you could just give everyone one of these.
