Transportation around getting holiday gifts




Transportation around getting holiday gifts
 How you go about getting your gifts can have as big an impact on the environment as what you actually buy. Where you shop and how you get there could be one of your most important decisions. After all, where is the benefit in getting the most Eco shiek present, if you drive your SUV to Chicago to get it?

  It’s easy to reduce your gas consumption and take a socially responsible tack instead by shopping locally. Downtown America has a great selection of shops to find most everything you could ever want. Most importantly, you can feel good about supporting the local economy. 

If your family or friends live elsewhere look up what their downtown offers and buy a gift certificate to a local store. It only takes a little research and a phone call. 

 If you’re sending gifts by mail, choose small, light packages, which take up less space and fuel than large, heavy ones.
