Holiday shopping can not only hurt the wallet, but the over-consumption of goods that tends to happen during the gift-giving season can also harm the environment. This is especially challenging if your business hosts a gift exchange for the holidays as employees may not know what to give someone, and end up gifting unwanted items. Fortunately, there are ways to limit your impact by creating unconventional gift exchanges, selecting eco-friendly products, or gifting an experience. We've put together some tips for you to help keep your festivities sustainable.

The California Green Business Network is working hard to expand the green economy and bring more sustainable business options to diverse communities throughout California. In our January 2023 newsletter, we will be highlighting the progress we have made over the past year to recruit businesses and expand equity, but during this Holiday Season we wanted to let you know that you can be a part of our expansion efforts by making a charitable donation to CAGBN. Your support will help us continue to grow the network and create a more sustainable future for California. Here's a few easy ways you can support us:

• Join 1% for the Planet: Businesses that are part of the 1% for the Planet program commit to giving 1% of gross sales each year to approved environmental partners, helping them make a positive impact in communities on a global scale. As a Business Member, you can select CAGBN as an environmental partner and donate your contribution to our organization. Find out more here.
• Make a Direct Donation: One of the easiest ways to support us is to make a direct, tax-deductible donation to CAGBN through our secure, online donation page. Click here to donate directly to CAGBN and help us expand our work throughout the state.
