If you can’t beat them, join them. And so here we are with another Holiday GT. This year’s edition, like in previous years, will feature lots of fun green gifts and gadgets, and we’ll also be sure to put in the odd more socially productive gift.

To start, instead of tube socks or chocolates – which don’t last anyway – why not give them something your loved one can cherish forever: a healthier environment. David Suzuki Foundation’s nature-themed holiday cards present a unique and forward-thinking way of honoring your friends, family, or even people you hardly know! Instead of giving the people in your life stuff they don’t really want, you can give something meaningful and creative: a gift membership to the David Suzuki Foundation.

Here’s how it works: click here to choose your favourite holiday card to be sent to someone special. You’ll be guided through the steps of making a donation in honour of that person, writing a personal note to be included in the card, choosing how to send it, then voila! The card will be on its way, and your gift in honour of your loved one will make a huge difference for the environment.

Not only will your loved one receive a snazzy card, they will also receive a year-long membership to the David Suzuki Foundation, along with an information package about the work they do, and their newsletter, Finding Solutions. If you choose to save paper by sending the card by email, your friend or family member will also receive an eye-catching downloadable screensaver.

Your friends will love being a part of the solution, and you’ll be happy knowing that your important gift will go a long way to protecting nature.
