As Christmas rapidly approaches during these tough economic times, green gifts have become fashionable. Use your money two-fold by getting your loved one a gift that helps the environment and allows them to save money. They are gifts that will be treasured for many years to come.

This tactic also allows you to save money on your electric bill. By cutting your electric bill, supply and demand fundamentals dictate that you are also lowering every other Americans electric bill. So helping others to save electricity is beneficial to the planet and to all of us.

Something people in the state of Georgia know that most of us don't is how water is a precious commodity. There is a shortage of water in many places throughout the world. It is expected to get much worse. There are smart investors buying up stocks in water companies because they know how serious the problem is. (Notice how our water bills continue to move higher?) We should all do our part to conserve water to save our environment and our wallets.

Below is a list of green gifts that will benefit the gift giver, the planet as well as the receiver. When the economy gets tough we have to use our money more wisely. Anytime your money can be used two-fold, it is a wise choice and well spent.
