Last night, I came upon Chika's really great looking new reusable shopping blogs ("BOTES"). Immediately made a mental note to Shop Chika for holiday gifts. Sustainability and green!
Then a few minutes later, PBS's Newshour with Jim Lehrer triggered a suggestion for yet another source, when the World of Good company and its founder, Priya Haji, were featured in a piece about how the company sells messenger bags, handicrafts and other products with the aim of employing people in impoverished parts of the world and spreading social awareness among U.S. consumers. Listen to the audio for this feature:
World of Good Segment MP3
Finally, there is one of my very favorite gifting ideas -- gift certificates to invest in a microfinanced third-world entrepreneur: http://www.kiva.org/.
