Green Gift Guide for Your College Student
Just because you raised them to be mindful of the environment doesn't mean that your college student will always be. It can be tough on a tight budget, away from home to remember to turn off the lights and the water or even to recycle. These gifts can make a world of difference to your student and to the environment.
Clean Green Drinking Water
Start with a Brita Slim Water Pitcher to give your college student clean, green drinking water. The slim pitcher fits well in even the small dorm or apartment fridges. This way they can have drinking water whenever they want without the need for plastic bottles and cost so much more. It has a capacity for five 8 ounce glasses of water.
Be sure to pick up some extra Brita Replacement Filters and a reusable water bottle for them to take their drinks on the go.

They may be up late - but you can reduce Vampire P
Your college student doesn't have to be a Vampire - at least when it comes to power. Using the Smart Strip 10-outlet Energy Saving Surge Protector provides them with plenty of outlets and let's face it in dorm rooms they most probably need more. The smart strip design protects against power surges that can do damage to your more expensive electronic equipment like computers, stereos and televisions. Using a surge strip protector like this ones cuts down on wasted "vampire power," the electricity pulled by computers and electrical appliances when plugged in and even turned off.
You can also keep them from wasting electricity by sending them a solar charger, available for approximately $100.00. You simply stop and drop your MP3 player or cell phone into the solar charger and students will get a real charge out of how easy their new found "power source" is.
You can still tuck them in at night with organic s
Remember when your children were little and you tucked them in at night, "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite?' No longer a fairy tale bedbugs have been a real problem in colleges and universities across the nation. Know your college aged student is getting sweet dreams when they use a Chemical Free Organic Cotton Pillow. Hopefully an "all nighter" will sometimes include a all night long of sleep.
If you really want to go all out, consider anyone of these items listed in the Going Green in the Bedroom Guide and provide your student with some sweet sheet sets too.
Whatever you decide to send to your student, from a home grown care package to some electrifying electronic help, you can continue your efforts to create a more efficient college "environment.
