Here is a taste of “out of the norm” gift giving ideas that are more friendly to our planet.
Many of these organizations have online stores. Those without stores can have donations made to them in a loved ones name.
Special Note: Ideas are happily accepted for this page. My criteria for listing is that the vendors/organizations are socially responsible and environmentally friendly – free from sweatshop labor; promoting reducing, reusing, recycling; advocating the community/people business concept as the alternative to corporate globalization; promoting and supporting fair trade products; promoting the use of organic materials where possible; and advocating peace, justice, human rights and living wages.)
DISCLAIMER: Listings of businesses and organizations here are endorsed as socially conscious businesses, for the convenience of shoppers who are seeking such businesses, in accordance with the criteria listed above.
The listings do not imply or insinuate endorsement of businesses,their philosophies or practices by the other businesses and organizations listed here.
Special Announcement for Christmas 2007

The property would be used for office space for peace and justice and education non-profits, common community meeting and event space and space for a garden and greenhouse.
