Holiday shopping: Eco-conscious gifts

This post was written by Emma Oschrin, 2013 Project Specialist.


Want to buy gifts that will put a smile on the faces of your friends and family, as well as do something good for the earth? Well, look no further than the Mono Lake Committee’s holiday selection! We carry a variety of gifts that will help you get through the holiday bustle with ease.

Our newest mug makes a great gift for anyone who enjoys sitting around the warm fire sipping tea or hot cocoa. This mug features a classic Mono Lake image—a gull flying over tufa towers—along with the words “Long Live Mono Lake” in teal. Surprise the Mono Lake lover in your life with this special gift.

Are you tired of using plastic snack bags that just end up in the trash? Then this item is perfect for you. These reusable snack bags come in sets of three—one green, one blue, and one plum—and feature a fold-over closure for small snack foods, but can also expand to fit sandwiches. And what makes these reusable bags even better? They’re machine washable. Get yours today!

Lastly, we’re now offering the Nomad tote in both blue and red. This bag is a great carry-all to take to the grocery store, gym, beach, or on a trip. The Nomad tote features a zipper closure on top, outside pockets, and a patterned lining. Best of all, the entire bag can be stuffed into the zipper pocket on the inside for easy travel.
