Recently I have been starting to give green or eco-gifts instead of buying things that would only contribute to environmental degradation including global warming. Last Christmas I gave solar powered flashlights and gift cards to a vegetarian restaurant. My girlfriend often gives food items like fancy jams and crackers.
If you think about all the gift giving out there like Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, valentines day, baby showers, mother's as well as father's day and times these events by 6.5 billion people it does not take a brain surgeon to figure out that the world cannot sustain each individual getting and or giving non sustainable presents without great environmental devastation.
