Green ideas do begin at home. One of the most effective ways of going green is green gifts. Even if they cost a tad more than your usual Diwali budget, but with a smart plan, one can make green gifting a heartwarming experience.
GIFT SOME GREEN CLOTHING
A number of eco friendly brands offer green clothing. So, if you are an eco warrior who supports all the green causes, you can explore outlets where organic cotton and organic fabrics find a place.
NO CARBON FOOTPRINTS PLEASE
By shopping online for various green gifts, you could save some carbon footprints — you’d be saving on fuel and emit less pollutants. And your dear ones can receive their gift at their doorstep too. Voila!
GREEN SOLUTIONS FOR THE HOME
Now that Hollywood hottie Brad Pitt’s embraced the eco friendly bath idea, you can also look for eco-friendly bathing products. You can make a home made green dish washing detergent or a green bath salt and wrap them in eco friendly packages for those you love.
GREEN FASHION
Gifting anything that supports the green cause is always special. So, instead of picking up regular ear rings or usual handbags, look eco friendly accessories: handbags with a green tag.
LIGHT UP DIFFERENTLY
Instead of regular bulbs, use LED lights available in the market. A power-saving alternative, the LED sparkle seconds the green cause.
ECO GADGETS
If gifting electronic goods and gadgets is on the cards, then pick those products that offer maximum energy saving alternatives. Count the stars on the packages, the more the stars, the more they save. Solar powered lamps, razors, geysers, chargers, wall lights are some of the green options you can go for.
So, let this Diwali be as green as it gets!
