'Tis the Season of Sustainable Giving

The Holiday season is upon us and in my latest video - I'm giving you Five Green Gifting Ideas for gifts that are DIY, upcycled, zero waste or at the very least, clutter free.

As for receiving gifts, if you are amongst the fortunate few who can afford to have pretty much everything that keeps you alive and healthy, do consider donating or asking for a donation to these worthy charities in your name.

I've compiled this list on request from a few viewers who were looking for meaningful gifting options this holiday season and I'd like to thank everyone on Facebook and Twitter for sending me these names.

This is an open list. If you personally know of any reputed Charities/Non-Profit organizations that accept donations, please leave me a comment here and I will add it to the list.

Happy Giving and Receiving everyone.
