Greener Shopping in 2010

We came across this blog towards the end of last year about greener shopping and it got us thinking. In addition to all the great suggestions on how to reduce, reuse and recycle, social shopping is an ideal way to conserve. Instead of jumping in your car and going to the mall, sites like MattelShop.com, CharlotteRusse.com and others let visitors shop together with friends and family online whether they live a block away or in different countries. It’s a fun way to choose the perfect gift for yourself, or a niece, brother or friend, when geography or time constraints may get in the way.  And, for brands that incorporate it, social shopping can be another pillar of their corporate social responsibility efforts.
