The holidays are about joy, generosity, and togetherness. This year, ClimeCo invites you to celebrate with purpose by making choices that make a lasting, positive impact. To help you get started, we’ve put together a few simple ways to make your holidays more sustainable (and we’re chipping in to double the impact!). From shopping for certified products to offsetting travel and supporting local businesses, below are our top tips for a planet-friendly holiday season.
1. Shop Smart, Shop Certified
When browsing for gifts, look for sustainability certifications that signal rigorous environmental standards, such as the ClimeCo Certified Product™ badge, approved under Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly (CPF) program. Other trusted certifications include Fair Trade, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), and B Corp.
Some ClimeCo-Certified brands that you can shop for on Amazon include:
- AllMade – Sustainable apparel made from ethical, low-impact materials – a stylish gift that gives back.
- Cleancult – Eco-friendly, refillable cleaning products (hand soaps, detergents, and more) that smell amazing and help reduce plastic waste.
- Corsair – High-performance gaming and streaming gear, computer components, and peripherals for the tech-lover
- iFixit – A leader in the right-to-repair movement, offering high-quality toolkits and guides that empower users to fix their own devices and reduce electronic waste.
- Rael – A holistic wellness brand offering clean personal care and skincare products for those seeking smarter, planet-conscious swaps.
- Ritual and New Chapter – For your health-conscious friend, these supplement brands meet high social and environmental standards.
2. Offset Your Holiday Travel
Visiting loved ones? Every mile counts. Estimate and offset your travel emissions, supporting verified carbon reduction projects that make a tangible difference. Choose direct flights, carpool, or use public transportation to lower your impact before offsetting the rest. Small steps, big difference.
3. Support Local & Low-Waste
Skip the excess packaging and shipping emissions by shopping locally or choosing handmade gifts. Visit neighborhood markets, craft fairs, or buy from EcoCommitted™ small businesses that prioritize sustainability. Bring your own reusable bags and opt for cloth wraps or recycled paper instead of traditional wrapping – it’s beautiful, thoughtful, and waste-free.
Some EcoCommitted™ small businesses to support this season include:
- Caprock Skateboards – Handmade skateboards crafted with sustainability in mind.
- EcoBrander Promos – Custom-printed, eco-conscious bulk products for organizations (note: business-to-business only).
- Journey Spice Co. – Premium, USDA Organic Certified spices and seasonings in sustainable, paper-based packaging.
- Raised Right – Farm-to-bowl pet food made with human-grade ingredients.
- Sequins & Lace Design – Handmade pop culture cards, stickers, keychains, enamel pins, and customized gifts.
- WonderCow Nutrition, Inc. – Nutrition that supports both health and sustainability.
As part of our Greener Giving initiative, ClimeCo will double the environmental impact of our EcoCommitted™ partners by matching their purchase of verified carbon credits from December 1st through December 25th, so every sustainable purchase goes twice as far in supporting meaningful climate action.
4. Gift Experiences Over Things
Memories last longer than material items. Consider gifting experiences like a cooking class, concert tickets, or a national park pass. These gifts often support local businesses and carry minimal environmental impact. Plus, they strengthen relationships in the best way possible.
5. Give the Gift of Climate Action
For the person who has everything, consider giving the gift of carbon offsets. Through ClimeCo, you can support verified projects that remove or prevent greenhouse gas emissions – like forest conservation or methane capture – in your loved one’s name. It’s a thoughtful, planet-positive gift that keeps giving all year long.
6. Bonus – Purchase ClimeCo’s Own Sustainable Gifts!
Don’t forget to check out ClimeCo’s own holiday gifts, including our cozy, “I Emit No Gas” baby onesies and pet bandanas, which include a 5-tonne carbon offset each! As part of ClimeCo’s Greener Giving initiative, ClimeCo will match the environmental impact of all carbon credit and e-commerce purchases on our website, doubling the climate benefit of every item sold from December 1st through December 25th.
Remember, sustainability isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. Every mindful choice this holiday season, from shopping local to offsetting travel, brings us one step closer to a more sustainable future.
