Green is the New Black

This holiday season I’ve come across some great affordable gifts for the eco conscious person in your life.

Sarah Pinto’s 2009 Weekly Planners --It’s almost the new year and time to make that New Years resolution to get and stay organized. Sarah Pinto’s 2009 Weekly Planners are a simple, functional and fun organizational solution. These durable planners measure 5” by 7” and are made with recycled paper and soy based ink. With five unique cover designs, Sarah Pinto’s 2009 Weekly Planners are a stylish, eco-friendly answer to your busy everyday schedule.

These planners are available at sarahpinto.com and Amazon retailing at $25. Another added bonus for the holiday season is that a portion of proceeds from one of the planners goes to CPMC Pediatric Cardiology. Check out these great planners at http://www.sarahpinto.com/.


Celebrate Green! Creating Eco-Savvy Holidays, Celebrations and Traditions for the Whole Family ($17.95) is a book full of ideas for greener celebrations, from holidays to birthdays, weddings, baby showers, and more. Written by a mother and daughter who love to celebrate, but are also concerned about the environment, Celebrate Green is a great guide for making a more green Christmas, but also a good gift idea, since it can be referenced year-round. Printed on 100% recycled FSC certified paper.

Lynn Colwell & Corey Colwell-Lipson are always looking for new holidays to celebrate green, so go check out their website, http://www.celebrategreen.net/ and let them know of any great ideas!
