The holidays are a time of joy and goodwill. They also happen to be one of the most wasteful times of year. Every week during the holiday season, an additional 1 million tons of trash finds its way into landfills, adding to the hefty carbon footprint of travel and gift giving.
For the conscientious consumer, finding the perfect present can be a challenge.
Not to worry — we’ve got you covered. Conservation International’s 2024 gift guide is full of meaningful and unique items that give back to nature. A pair of cozy socks could help protect vulnerable species, a reef-safe sunscreen helps restore degraded lands and supports farmers’ livelihoods (bonus: it uses waste-free packaging). For the young bookworm or budding environmentalist in your life, there’s even a children’s series where endangered animals save the day.
These are the kinds of gifts that will make you feel good about giving. Follow this link for the full gift guide.
