In case you are in the midst of your holiday shopping, these would make good gifts! Gaiam is an earth-friendly company so even your greenest friends and family members would be excited to see a package from them. Gaiam was the first company to use a carbon-neutral shipping program, which they developed with The Conservation Fund. The program, called Go Zero, allows customers to add a small, tax-deductible donation at checkout. Each donation is used to plant trees, which offset the carbon dioxide emissions that result from shipping the order. Their mailing supplies are comprised of 100% recycled materials. Gaiam can also provide gift wrapping for your package.

Whether you purchase for yourself or a gift, organic cotton items are great green purchases. Cotton is the most pesticide-intensive crop in the world today, accounting for 24% of the global insecticide market and 11% of the pesticide market. Five of the top nine pesticides used on cotton are cancer-causing chemicals. As just one illustration of the harm these chemical do to the environment, it is estimated that pesticides kill 67 million birds annually. An organic cotton purchase helps organic cotton farmers, the textile workers, the owner, and the environment.
