Top 10 green gift ideas for Mom
Yep, Mom. You know - the woman in your life who dishes out advice, lets you cry on her shoulder, and doesn't ask for anything in return (well, except maybe that you call her once in awhile). It's time to make her day. But before you go running out and ordering some huge, overpriced bouquet-and-chocolates deal, think: does mom really need this? Does the environment really need this? C'mon, mom knows you spent about .5 seconds last year whipping out your credit card on Amazon and getting that chocolate/flower monstrosity shipped to her apartment in Boca.
Wouldn't she rather have something that you spent a little time on? (You know it's true). Devoid of creativity? No prob. Check out our gallery for some green ideas. Both moms (yours and the earth's) will thank you.
It's Energy Independence Day!

It may seem like a lousy gift but, I signed her up for a membership with http://MyJunktree.com and they stop all the annoying junk mail that came to her home. She no longer received all that misc junk mail, she was able to choose what catalogs to stop and the ones she wanted to still get. She was getting a Credit Card offer almost every day, not anymore. They even stopped the phone books from coming to her house and she was stoked when she found out they planted 5 trees for her.

These are excellent green gift ideas.
Some others to consider are green electronics. In general, electronics, like computers, printers, televisions, telephones and others, make great gifts; however, now, there is a wide selection of green electronics available by all of the leading brands, including Apple, Sony, HP, Panasonic and more.
Green electronics are those which are ENERGY STAR® qualified. ENERGY STAR® is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. Energy efficient choices save families about one third on their energy bill with similar savings in greenhouse gas emissions. An ENERGY STAR® product does not sacrifice features, style or comfort.
Green electronics would make great gifts, especially for a mom. Please visit http://www.whichgreenelectronics.com for more information on these products.
