We eco-geeks are always dreaming of a green Christmas, so we’re usually the last people on earth to tell anyone to go to a mall to do their Christmas shopping. “Make it yourself from scratch,” we say, or “buy it secondhand, if you can.”

But people are still gonna buy gifts, so in light of that reality, I’d like to note that there’s one mall I’m willing to drive you to”the EcoMall. Founded 14 years ago by ardent environmentalists, EcoMall offers a huge selection of eco-friendly goods and provides tons of great information as well, on everything from government education and non-profit groups to environmental news and activism alerts.

Everyone’s jumping on the buy-green bandwagon, now, but EcoMall blazed the trail. So, if you’re looking for sustainable one-stop shopping, pop over to the site that pioneered it all. It doesn’t take much fuel to get there, you won’t be jostled by crowds of loot-toting shoppers, and you’ll be spared the torment of hearing Paul McCartney chirping “simp-ly hav-ing a wonderful Christmas time” over and over and over.
