Our planet is slowly being smothered by manufactured plastic bottles, bags and packaging. Is it not time to step back and see what products can be purchased without harming our beautiful, fragile earth? People are becoming more conscious about the damage that is being caused to the environment, and they are slowly starting to realize that simply throwing something in the trash can or flushing it away is not really getting rid of the problem. This year, consider buying gifts that are made from recycled materials or biodegradable products.
T-shirts, shorts and baby clothes made from bamboo fabric are becoming quite popular and even teenagers will be impressed with some of the trendy designs available. Clothing made from bamboo fibers is said to be cooler than cotton and helps counter body odor, eczema, allergies and/or sensitive skin. Bamboo clothing is reasonably priced and makes a sustainable, environmentally friendly gift.
Look out for necklaces, bracelets and earrings made by disadvantaged communities out of recycled materials such as tin and natural products such as coconuts and driftwood. If you have the time and a creative flair, consider making some hand crafted pieces yourself.
