Green Teens at Christmas

Are you trying to come up with ways to keep your teens environmentally aware? Do you keep the conversation turning back to why we only take 3 minute showers or why we should shut the lights off as we leave a room?
It's the holiday season and an easy time to continue with a teens green education. What gift can you give that promotes green living allowing them to see green in action. Yes , they see us compost and hang up the clothes but is that fun or just necessity to environment awareness.

A green christmas gift should pack a punch, especially with a teenager. We go through the typical stocking stuffings Itunes cards, earbuds, but what else could be interesting and fun? and Green?
I have a few suggestions.

Mindware has some great solar powered toys such as a Hydrogen-Powered Remote-Controlled Car! ages 12 and above. $129.

Fatbraintoys has a Kreechers pillow made out of recycled materials. $30.

Uncommongoods has recycled vinyl records into handmade cuff braclets $50.

Arbor collective has snowboards, skateboards and clothes. Eco friendly click here to find a location near you.
