Perfect Gift: "Green" Gifts

Tips And Gifts For An Eco-Friendly Holiday

(CBS)  In the latest installment "The Perfect Gift" series it's a look at eco-friendly gifts of all kinds with TV host and green lifestyle expert Sara Snow.

Snow grew up "green," her father (Tim Redmond) was actually a pioneer in the green movement, so it is the only lifestyle she knows.

She says going green is more about simplicity and all the things we can do without. Living with a consciousness of the world around you and respecting the things around you.

Snow offers two important tips to have a "green" holiday.

When it comes to a real tree vs. an artificial one, please buy the real one -- it's so much better for the environment.

Reconsider the gift wrapping and save paper.
