Last Minute Green and Good Gifts

You're still Christmas shopping, aren't you? That's okay, so am I. Plenty of time!

On the web, there are more resources on the web than you or are I know to help us out of this fix. But this Christmas you want to do something special and buy your friends and family something special- a green gift, or a gift with a Good company behind it.

Why? Because you are a Considerate Consumer.
