THE GREEN HOLIDAY GUIDE GIVES GREAT ENVIRONMENTAL ADVICE FOR THE HOME AND OFFICE


 In an effort to raise awareness for recycling and provide the nation with
an easy way to help the environment this holiday season, the California
Department of Conservation has released the 2002 Green Holiday Guide.

This one of a kind, nationally circulated holiday guide contains
easy-to-find environmentally conscious gifts. From kayaks to ski jackets, to glassware and home décor, all of the gifts in the guide are made from recycled materials.

"The guide is designed to be a one-stop catalog for easy to find, yet
unique, environmentally-friendly gifts in a variety of price ranges," said
Darryl Young, California Department of Conservation director. "There is a real misconception by many people that 'green' products are harder to find or more expensive. We are hoping that the Green Holiday Guide will help dissolve that myth."

Environmentally friendly gifts and holiday materials can be found at a
number of mainstream consumer stores, as well as a variety of online
shops. From wrapping paper and greeting cards to affordable one-of-a-kind items, the guide provides a range of ideas on how to make this season more "green."

In addition to a variety of gifts, the 2002 Green Holiday Guide also includes simple hints, tips, and suggestions on how to buy recycled products, shop for creative, eco-friendly products, conserve natural
resources and save energy.
