Don't know if you have noticed all the ads, but it seems stores are competing for whose clothes are greener, and I ain't talking color - I love it! My girlfriend Laurie David, over at stopglobalwarming.org had some gift suggestions and tips - I went through them and picked out my favs.

Got around to it too late for Chanukah, but these gifts and tips are evergreen as they say. Happy shopping! There will be more ideas coming up over the next few days but wanted to give this one an extra-special shout out!

Junk the junk mail this holiday season.

Check out 41Pounds.org: Help a friend or family member cut out their junk mail, and have a tree planted in their name.

Why it is the gift you should give yourself:

(I think I could stop at NO MORE JUNK MAIL--ahh, but I'll keep going:)

Save time by eliminating 80-95% of your daily junk mail.

Save trees - 100+ million trees destroyed annually for junk mail.

Save water used producing and recycling junk mail.

Reduce global warming - energy used for junk mail.

Support your favorite charity - 41pounds.org donates when you sign up.

You can offset your CO2 emissions when you sign up through their partnership with Carbonfund.org.

I will say I agree with their motto: CO2: Reduce What You Can - Offset What You Can't!

They have been around for a year, and in that time have taught me things like the above and they have eliminated over 1 million pounds of junk mail! This is the kind of pounds you want to gain over the holiday.
