What gift to buy for someone who cares about the environment?

Monisha Krishna — Mon, 27 Dec 2021 08:15:00 +0000

Buying a gift that someone really appreciates is never easy. It becomes particularly challenging for the discerning and those who have very specific interests and passions. For those who care about the environment here are a few suggestions:

1. Books are a source of inspiration and knowledge; they can make for a great sustainable gift for someone who cares about the environment. There are many different types of books on environmental issues. You can find books about environmental protection, fixing environmental damage, or even books about how to live more sustainably.

2. Another eco conscious gift that is good for an environmentally conscious person is a plant. A plant can add beauty and health to any room in the home. There are a whole range of indoor and outdoor plants to chose from any local nursery. However plants need attention and not everyone may have the time for their constant care.

3. If you do not know what type of plant would be good for someone who cares about the environment, you could gift them a Sacred Groves Cluster and introduce them to a whole new world of conservation. It’s an easy, engaging and meaningful way to get someone interested in the environment and advance their interests. They will enjoy their very own digital twin of a natural habitat and would be protecting it for generations to come – a very cool way to drive climate action!

While the attraction for eco-friendly products varies from person to person, it’s not hard to see the benefits of going eco-friendly – from preventing air quality deterioration to halting declining biodiversity. So it’s no surprise that more and more people are developing a preference for eco-friendly gifts.

The fact is that eco-friendly birthday gifts or eco-friendly anniversary gifts along with a personalised handwritten note have a good chance of being not only appreciated but also create a lasting memory.

What are green gifts?

Monisha Krishna — Sat, 20 Nov 2021 08:34:00 +0000

Getting gifts that are unwanted can be such a bother! Not only does one struggle to figure out what to do with them but also their negative environment footprint (from wrapping, delivery, etc) can be very frustrating for the environmentally conscious. Also unwanted gifts find themselves in the trash and eventually clog up the landfills. But this can change if we become a lot more conscious and change our gifting habits.

Here are a few ideas for green gifting to your friends and family:

A reusable gift bag.
Many people don’t realize that they’re actually throwing away a lot of plastic when they buy traditional, disposable gift bags. A reusable gift bag is a simple and affordable way to reduce your environmental impact.
A home-made gift.
Homemade gifts are always unique, and they’re even more special when they’re environmentally friendly. This includes things like gift baskets made from eco-friendly ingredients, or gifts made from recycled materials.
A gift card from a sustainable store.
Shopping from a local sustainable store is a great way to support the environment and get some great eco-friendly gifts at the same time.
A Sacred Groves Cluster
If you are worried about declining biodiversity, then consider buying a Sacred Groves Cluster as your eco conscious gift. Each time you gift a Sacred Groves Cluster, a natural habitat gets protected forever.

What is sustainable gifting?

Monisha Krishna — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 15:06:00 +0000

Sustainable gifting is a trend that’s growing in popularity, and for good reason. By giving eco-friendly gifts, you’re not only doing your part to help the environment, you’re also making someone’s birthday or holiday season that much more special. Not to mention, eco-friendly gifts are often more affordable than traditional gifts – which means you can give them to everyone on your list with ease! Here are a few tips to help you get started with sustainable gifting:

First, think about the recipient’s interests and values. What do they care about? What are their interests? Once you have a good idea of what they’re interested in, look for products or services that match those interests. For example, a cyclist might appreciate bike accessories, while someone who loves nature might appreciate eco-friendly birthday gift baskets. Next, think about the materials that the eco conscious gift is made of. Are the materials natural and sustainable? Are they recyclable? If the gift is something that needs to be kept fresh (like flowers), is it possible to store it in a sustainable way?

Another option for you to consider a donation to an ecological volunteering organisation.
