All the crew at ecoki wish you a wonderful Christmas and holiday season! May it be filled with fun get togethers, heart-warming moments, and everything else that makes the season bright.

This is it. The final week. Christmas is sitting just five days away and a load of folks are still scrambling for those last minute gifts on their list. All of a sudden we’re remembering to buy one more thing here and two more things there… And suddenly, we’re feeling a little overwhelmed.

Looking for that great last minute gift? You can’t go wrong with Green Label Organic, a family owned and operated tee-shirt business based out of Virginia. We love them and know you will too – and so will any gift receiver on your list.

For many people the holidays are a time of excess. Excessive drinking, excessive eating (I had three desserts at Thanksgiving…), excessive shopping, et cetera. And every holiday season that amounts to a 25% increase in landfill waste.

Everyone knows that the true spirit of Christmas can be lost in the capitalist pursuit of acquiring more “stuff.” This “stuff” is usually unremarkable, forgettable clutter that we give just because it’s that time of the year.
