Quick Tip: Green Gift Ideas for Black Friday

Fretting over what to give this holiday season?  Try giving gift cards instead of presents. Gift cards are more useful and green then conventional presents – there’s less packaging involved, and the recipient can choose what they really want.

Worried about retail stores going under?  Gas or restaurant cards are always appreciated.  

Want to spend some quality time with the recipient?  Help the local economy by giving tickets to a play at the Walnut Street Theatre or a sports game –  like the Philadelphia Eagles or 76ers.
