Green Gifts for a Better World
A collection of links to sites where you can buy a wide variety of products designed to protect the environment.
We live in a world of deep beauty and mystery. But we need this world, too — it’s our home and it sustains us. So when you’re shopping online for the perfect gift, consider a “green” gift, one that will help our home planet, as well as give pleasure and service to its recipient. Here are a few sites to check out:
RainforestForever.org
- “Rainforest Forever.org is an organization that protects the Amazon Rainforest by purchasing trees directly from landowners. Trees are purchased in critical locations that are threatened by imminent destruction. Your purchase goes directly towards the acquisition of the “timber rights” of a living and thriving Rainforest Tree located in the Amazon Rainforest. Your purchase prevents any person or entity from harming, destroying, or commercially exploiting the Rainforest Tree, forever.”
Carbon Advice Group
- “The Carbon Advice Group provides individuals, organisations and businesses a much-needed ability to accurately measure the size of their carbon footprint, deliver methods to reduce it as much as possible and then provide a simple, reliable, high quality mechanism to offset the carbon footprint that was left. No matter how many tonnes of carbon offsets you purchase from us, you can be assured that we will deliver exactly that amount in CO2 emission reductions from internationally verified carbon offset projects that meet the relevant international standards. That means if you buy 10 tonnes of carbon offsets, that is exactly what we’ll deliver you.”

- “At Lotus Jayne we sell unique and stylish handmade items from countries all over rural Asia, such as Cambodia, Thailand, India, and Indonesia.

- “Air/Q is a fully adjustable, safe and eco-friendly air-freshening system that eliminates home odors caused by pets, smokers, kids, trash cans, mold and mildew, and delivers the fresh scent of your choice. Air/Q was created expressly to replace aerosols, plug-in air fresheners, reed diffusers, scented candles and other old-fashioned, low-performance air fresheners that aren’t really effective and often pose health and safety risks. Air/Q works automatically to erase odors and create a pleasant scent effect without flame or heat and without releasing any harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds).”
Costa Rica Natural
- “Costa Rica Natural is the first company in the history of the paper industry to create and market treeless paper of a superior quality. Every page of Costa Rica Natural’s Ecopaper is smooth, acid-free, durable, chemical-free, and made in the lush mountains of Costa Rica. With great satisfaction, Costa Rica Natural has developed an innovative and economically feasible option for the removal of the 230,000 tons of agro-industrial waste that are dumped yearly in Costa Rica alone. We are the first eco-friendly brand of paper that only uses recycled materials and does not add to the destruction of endangered forests. Secondly, we are based on the principles of fair trade and sustainable production by relying on partnerships among first and third world businesses. Next, it has more character than your average paper because of its exceptional texture, color, and appearance. Finally, Ecopaper offers a sustainable replacement to the wasteful paper products that are already overused in our society on a daily basis. Remember that every sheet of the treeless paper is uniquely handmade in an organic process which constantly promotes the development of the international Green Movement.”
