While green living is clearly about making healthier choices for ourselves and the environment, it is also about living in a state where social responsibility serves as a guiding force in many of the choices we make. Whether it be through the products we purchase or how we spend our time helping others, we all have an opportunity to look beyond our personal bubbles of convenience and ask ourselves how we can contribute to the world in a greater way. In that spirit, consider gifts that keep on giving this holiday season. Here are a few organizations definitely worth checking out.
Kiva.org is an amazing organization that utilizes microlending to make loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries.
Social Investment Forum is an organization geared to the socially responsible investor.
Co-op America provides an amazing compilation of fair trade gift ideas.
Cheers to "green" contributing this holiday season!
