Have a family member or friend that refuses to kick an ugly not-so-green habit?

For their next birthday or holiday, casually give them a greener option. Have a friend that goes through Starbucks coffee cups like cigarettes? Maybe your sister uses bottled water at the gym?

Purchase aluminum water bottles, coffee mugs, or grocery totes to give to the perpetrator.  With so many varieties available, you’ll definitely find something that fits his or her personality. Try browsing Philly’s Big Green Earth Store or Olde city/Midtown boutiques for earth-friendly finds.

Plus, the gift of green… keeps on giving! 🙂
