This holiday season, maybe it’s time to start thinking outside the box. Who says you have to send the traditional gifts? For the right recipient, green products and organic foodstuffs perfectly express the spirit of the holiday. You can show you care about the planet and the recipient. Here are some unconventional ideas that can brighten the days of colleagues, family and friends.1. Organic Grassfed Beef – Sending meat in the mail may sound funny, but why not? So many Americans love to celebrate with a terrific steak or roast this time of year. Grassfed beef is becoming more and more popular, due to its health benefits, yet it’s not easy for everyone to find at their local supermarket. A delicious sampler of Greensbury organic grassfed ribeyes, filet mignon, and other fine cuts can be ordered online and sent directly the door of anyone on your list. All they have to do is defrost, cook and serve!

2. Organic Tea – The holidays can be stressful. Consider bringing a tin of relaxing organic teas to treat the host of a holiday party, instead of wine or spirits. Green, white, and black teas contain disease-fighting antioxidants, and herbal teas may have wonderful properties ranging from aiding digestion to calming the nerves. Organic tea samplers can also be sent via mail through sites.

3. Organic Bamboo Socks – Everybody needs new socks. Organic bamboo is wonderfully soft and silky and also resists odor, making it an ideal material for socks of all kinds, from active anklets to knee socks to fashionable and funky socks for the whole family. Bamboo is the most sustainable natural fiber. It even fights global warming, since bamboo takes in 5 times the amount of greenhouse gases and produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. Warm toes, cool the planet…give organic bamboo clothing!

4. Recycled Jewelry – Creative jewelers are making truly unique necklaces, earrings and other jewelry out of every kind of recycled material imaginable. To name a few: glass, porcelain, bicycle tubes, skateboards, and computer components. When you consider how much harm is caused by mining for gold and gems (to humans and the planet alike), it’s exciting to discover that you can give someone a little holiday sparkle while staying mindful of environmental and political issues.

5. Customized Reusable Bags – Everyone’s jumping on the bag wagon these days, making or selling reusable totes. It’s a practical earth-friendly gift. But that doesn’t mean it has to be dull. You can order a canvas tote for someone on your list that’s customized with a name or photo – more incentive to bring it along wherever they go!

That wraps up this shopping list, though there are plenty more green ideas out there. Remember, organic meats, organic fruits and vegetables, and other organic products are free of things nobody puts on their holiday list: hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides.

Eco Friendly Products And A Change In Attitude   by Thomas Pretty

About the Author

With a keen interest in environmental issues Thomas Pretty studies how eco friendly products are rapidly becoming a large element in the global economy and how companies are increasing incorporating environmentally friendly agendas.

While eco-friendly or green products and companies have sprouted up everywhere it’s no surprise that the mlm industry would want to get in on all of the fun. One of these mlm companies that has taken hold of the going green theme is WowGreen. It has quickly risen up the mlm ranks to become a force to be reckoned with.WowGreen’s claim to fame is that its products are safe, all-natural, enzyme based cleaners. They have 12 different products ranging from laundry detergents to glass cleaners, all of which use unique enzymes to help them handle their respective tasks. Their goal is to help rid the world of all the harmful toxic chemicals normally found in household cleaning supplies.

They also make a point of saying that their bottles are either recyclable or reusable. This is their way of helping to cut down on the amount of plastic that is used. From everything that I have seen and heard, their products are quite good and worth the price of admission.

Now as we all know, having a great product is only half the battle in the mlm world. There must also be a well thought out compensation plan to go along with it. In WowGreen’s case, while nothing to become excited about, their compensation plan is sound.

It consists of 5 ways to earn: direct sales commissions, first order enrollment bonuses, binary bonus, executive matching bonus, and awards. If you get to take advantage of all of these elements, you could be making a very nice income over time.

The problem that comes in with WowGreen is not in the product or compensation, but rather in the marketing methods that their distributors are being taught. It’s sad that the majority of people who join an mlm like WowGreen are being taught old, outdated methods that are simply less effective than they once were. Just think about it, has your upline told you to make a list of your friends and family? Or what about going out and prospecting anyone within 3 feet? If you answered yes, then know that there is a better way.

You see, in today’s world of network marketing the internet has begun to play a huge role in how we go about building our businesses. And in this world of the internet, having a system in place that will allow you to market effectively is of the utmost importance.

You need a system that you and your downline can immediately plugin to that will put you in a position of leadership and give you the tools and training you need to succeed. So the key to finding success in WowGreen or any mlm for that matter, is to utilize the best tools available.
