Treehugger

This holiday season, let your love for global travel extend into your gift-giving by zoning in on environmentally-responsible presents for the people on your list. Fair trade clothes and bags, stuffed animals made from tofu, couch cushions crafted from recycled bags, global warming mugs, and an array of creative and classy ideas can be found on TreeHugger.com, conveniently organized by price with access to the sites that sell the products. And once you've picked out the best gifts for your family and friends, explore the site for a bevy of other green-scene insights.

Unlike telemarketers or clipboard-wielding sidewalk volunteers, this thought-provoking web magazine delivers a veritable deluge of ideas, products, articles, and information on the environment without the preachy attitude. The Web site's main page offers environmental news articles on subjects such as green home improvement, the billion tree campaign, eco-friendly gadgets, green events, and other topics in alignment with Mother Nature. Internal sections of the site include TreeHugger TV, a number of short eco-related media clips; hugg, a source for user-submitted green news; and the TreeHugger store, which sells environmental books. But the real value of the site is its extensive archive, accessible via the click-down menus at the top of the page, which links to articles on green products, issues, travel, tips, action, and other eco-friendly subjects.
