Give Green to Save Green This Holiday Season with TreeHugger.com and Planet Green

SILVER SPRING, Md., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time to help the cash-strapped and eco-inclined this holiday season, TreeHugger.com and Planet Green offer an array of affordable, eco-friendly gifts, recommendations and helpful information. TreeHugger.com's annual gift guide (http://www.treehugger.com/giftguide/) returns with "Give Green to Save Green," offering suggestions of more than 100 unique gift options designed to help the planet as well as bottom lines.

Beginning the week of November 10, Planet Green will also debut a series of video shorts to help guide viewers through the hectic holiday season. The shorts on-air and online feature tips and resources from Planet Green's family of hosts and experts including Emeril Lagasse, Tom Green, Bill Nye, Steve Thomas, Annabelle Gurwitch, Holter Graham and Jodi Murphy.

TreeHugger's "Give Green to Save Green" (http://www.treehugger.com/giftguide/) gift guide presents a broad range of affordable options for spreading holiday cheer which come with the added benefit of reducing impact to the environment. The average American's trash output is 25 percent higher between Thanksgiving and the New Year, and household expenses are on the rise this winter. TreeHugger's timely holiday guide shows that choosing sustainable gifts can help to lessen both waste and financial strain. The "Give Green to Save Green" gift guide contains gift solutions in easy to follow categories including:

* Green Geek
* Foodie
* Fashion Buff
* Wee-Hugger
* Do-It-Yourselfer
* Animal Lover
* Jet Setter
* Design Junkie
* Outdoors Enthusiast
* The Pop Culture Fan
* The Health Nut
* The Philanthropist

With items ranging from DIY natural gum and candy kits (Glee, $13) and energy-efficient earthen cookware (La Bamba, $58) to body care products in 'plantable' packaging (Pangea Organics, $40) and great gifts for gadget junkies (home power monitor, $99), TreeHugger's gift selections are as thoughtful to their lucky recipients as they are to the earth. Consumers can also find Planet Green favorites featured in the gift guide, such as the GREENSBURG Season One DVD, packaged in eco-friendly wrapping.
