Eco friendly gifts that will make a positive difference to our planet

Why eco-friendly gifts?

Do you find yourself struggling to find gifts for your friends and relatives? Do you end up buying gifts that wont get used or that are simply unnecessary? Why not consider switching to eco-friendly gifts to reduce the negative environmental impact of traditional gifts?

Zero waste

Traditional gifts require packaging, printing, travel, and delivery, all of which consume energy and generate waste. Eco-friendly Gifts such as Sacred Groves Clusters reduce environmental impact and spread awareness of the need to make greener choices in life.

Unique approach to conservation

Your eco gift recipient will be introduced to a whole new way to participate in the process of conservation. It’s a great way to spread the message of environmental conservation and maximising your impact.

Sacred Groves is a platform that enables environmentally sensitive individuals and companies to take meaningful actions in protecting our planet’s biodiverse habitats. A Sacred Groves Cluster is a digital/ virtual unit of a natural habitat being protected and conserved by Sacred Groves.

Whether you are celebrating a special occasion like a Birthday or Anniversary, or simply want to thank someone, in a matter of minutes you can sign up as a Guardian and send a gift that doesn’t cost the earth. The Sacred Groves Clusters cost as much as a nice bouquet of flowers and are valid for ten years. Our planet is the greatest gift of all – with the gift of a Sacred Groves Cluster, you can get your loved ones started on a journey of conservation!!

Sacred Groves Clusters (SGCs) make a cool digital eco-friendly gift for environmentally sensitive people who are keen on the protection and conservation of natural habitats all over the world. After all our planet is the greatest gift!

By signing up to become a Guardian and accepting this gift, your recipient will have access to a whole lot of information about the natural habitat being protected (such as real time weather, green cover, description of the area, gallery of images, Surveyor’s Report, etc.) along with details of their SGCs (area protected, carbon sequestered and pollution removal over ten years, biodiversity coverage, exact location (latitude longitude) with a pin drop on Google Earth, altitude, etc.). All the SGCs are placed on the blockchain for transparency, traceability and trust.

Through our web and mobile applications you can support and gift upto 10,000 Sacred Groves Clusters (SGCs) in a twelve month period. For supporting or gifting more than 10,000 SGCs, please contact us at [email protected].

A Sacred Groves Cluster can be supported via a choice of three currencies (GBP, USD, EUR) for a nominal sum of £40 / $50 / €45, for a period of ten years. Our easy to use calculator shows the positive impact of supporting an SGC in terms of the area protected, biodiversity coverage, carbon sequestered and pollution removal over ten years.

Sustainable gifting is a trend that’s growing in popularity, and for good reason. By giving eco-friendly gifts, you’re not only doing your part to help the environment, you’re also making someone’s birthday or holiday season that much more special. Not to mention, eco-friendly gifts are often more affordable than traditional gifts – which means you can give them to everyone on your list with ease! Here are a few tips to help you get started with sustainable gifting: 

First, think about the recipient’s interests and values. What do they care about? What are their interests? Once you have a good idea of what they’re interested in, look for products or services that match those interests. For example, a cyclist might appreciate bike accessories, while someone who loves nature might appreciate eco-friendly birthday gift baskets. Next, think about the materials that the eco conscious gift is made of. Are the materials natural and sustainable? Are they recyclable? If the gift is something that needs to be kept fresh (like flowers), is it possible to store it in a sustainable way? 

Another option for you to consider a donation to an ecological volunteering organisation. 

Getting gifts that are unwanted can be such a bother! Not only does one struggle to figure out what to do with them but also their negative environment footprint (from wrapping, delivery, etc) can be very frustrating for the environmentally conscious. Also unwanted gifts find themselves in the trash and eventually clog up the landfills. But this can change if we become a lot more conscious and change our gifting habits.

Here are a few ideas for green gifting to your friends and family:

  1. A reusable gift bag. 
    Many people don’t realize that they’re actually throwing away a lot of plastic when they buy traditional, disposable gift bags. A reusable gift bag is a simple and affordable way to reduce your environmental impact.
  2. A home-made gift. 
    Homemade gifts are always unique, and they’re even more special when they’re environmentally friendly. This includes things like gift baskets made from eco-friendly ingredients, or gifts made from recycled materials.
  3. A gift card from a sustainable store. 
    Shopping from a local sustainable store is a great way to support the environment and get some great eco-friendly gifts at the same time. 
  4. Sacred Groves Cluster
    If you are worried about declining biodiversity, then consider buying a Sacred Groves Cluster as your eco conscious gift. Each time you gift a Sacred Groves Cluster, a natural habitat gets protected forever. 

While the attraction for eco-friendly products varies from person to person, it’s not hard to see the benefits of going eco-friendly – from preventing air quality deterioration to halting declining biodiversity. So it’s no surprise that more and more people are developing a preference for eco-friendly gifts. 

The fact is that eco-friendly birthday gifts or eco-friendly anniversary gifts along with a personalised handwritten note have a good chance of being not only appreciated but also create a lasting memory.

Buying a gift that someone really appreciates is never easy. It becomes particularly challenging for the discerning and those who have very specific interests and passions. For those who care about the environment here are a few suggestions:

1. Books are a source of inspiration and knowledge; they can make for a great sustainable gift for someone who cares about the environment. There are many different types of books on environmental issues. You can find books about environmental protection, fixing environmental damage, or even books about how to live more sustainably.

2. Another eco conscious gift that is good for an environmentally conscious person is a plant. A plant can add beauty and health to any room in the home. There are a whole range of indoor and outdoor plants to chose from any local nursery. However plants need attention and not everyone may have the time for their constant care.

3. If you do not know what type of plant would be good for someone who cares about the environment, you could gift them a Sacred Groves Cluster and introduce them to a whole new world of conservation. It’s an easy, engaging and meaningful way to get someone interested in the environment and advance their interests. They will enjoy their very own digital twin of a natural habitat and would be protecting it for generations to come – a very cool way to drive climate action!
