Tis the season...to shop. For every dollar that is spent in the market place, 85 cents is spent by women. That's a lot of power packed into a purse. We can shift our spending to quality products and services that are good for the giver and environment. 1

Why do you care?

• Shop for the world you want "We can have the world we want just by putting the right things in our shopping carts," says Diane MacEachern, founder of the BigGreenPurse.
• Demand & Supply - the more we choose/buy products and services that are toxin-free - the more the market place will begin providing products that are toxin-free.
  

The Know How

• Pure Know How always tries to provide solutions. These businesses are committed to providing top notch alternatives - you'll be impressed … as will the receiver. So shop away!
• Consider replacing a traditional gift you give someone with a cleaner more natural alternative these products often deliver the same or better results.
  

Know and Tell

• Patti loves to receive bath products at this time of year - in fact it's a given that it will be under the tree. Her family now knows to "read the labels" on those bath bombs and bubbles.
• Without giving away any secrets, Patti will be sending to her main "peps" on her gift list something Klean.
• Tamey is actually really excited about buying her family members little luxuries that are good for them and the environment.
