Green holiday gifting

OK, this gift might be <i>too </i>green.

OK, this gift might be too green.

'Tis the season to purchase a bunch of stuff for other people. For many of us, that means stuff that probably hurts the environment, isn't used for very long or quickly finds itself in the trash as soon as it's received. Thankfully, the green-friendly website TreeHugger—part of the Discovery Communications network—recently published its annual gift guide. This year, it even features subcategories, such as The Foodie, The Kid and The Fashion Buff. There are some innovative items listed and also some not-so-useful stuff, including a solar-powered radio and a disposable iPhone case. Check out the entire guide at www.treehugger.com/giftguide.
