Good morning



The Green Guide for Christmas 2006 is published today. You are invited to
download a PDF of the entire book from
http://www.greenguide.co.uk/xmas_media



This handy guide provides everything you need to make your Christmas
greener. It's packed with advice, listings and ideas, all of which have a
planet-friendly, natural or ethical slant.



For greener gift giving choose from organic, eco-friendly or ethical food,
hampers, clothes, shoes, accessories, chocolates, wine, cosmetics, gadgets,
jewellery, toys, furniture, vouchers, cards, trees, trimmings, decorations,
books, magazines and much more.



Or consider giving something completely different. Take out a second
mortgage - but for a family in the developing world. A whole new house costs
£2,000 and your investment in their building societies will provide the
working capital for a revolving fund. Or you could plant chilli hedges to
protect villagers' crops from marauding elephants. And why not give a
voucher for an organic cookery weekend or a course on low impact living - or
maybe splash out on an environmental research trip.



Or you could buy an acre of rainforest; adopt a dolphin, a barn owl or an
orangutan; send medicines to developing countries; plant a tree; sponsor
bees, cattle or goats; or build a loo, endow a library and dig a well.



The Guide also shows you how can save energy and reduce waste over the
festive season. And, if you plan to travel to friends and relatives or go
away for a holiday, there is advice on greener travel and ethical tourism.



There is something planet-friendly for everyone in the Green Guide for
Christmas.
