A great way to go green this holiday season is to take the Handmade Pledge at BuyHandmade.org. We've assembled a list of great handmade gifts that'll lighten your footstep and lighten the heart.
Go to the Handmade Gift Guide...
Also, if you aren't taking the pledge check out our 2009 Holiday Green Gift Guide too.

hi matt, pls check us out at earthdivas.com. all items are made by hand. many of our items are made with hemp fabic. the hemp grows wild in the remote western Himalayan mountains, is harvested by hand, then hand spun into a twine. the twine is the woven into a fabric on a pit loom. we buy the fabric and dye, cut and stitch the handbags, hats, wallets and many other items. when u see them in real life, you can really feel and understand how much hand work goes into these. they are really unique and wonderful items. 100% of profits go back to the artisans and we pay 30% over the local wage rate. pls help us get the word out… thank you. ed–
