reduce + reuse = green gifting

Can one man's trash be another man's treasure?

Elfster says "yes."  As the premier online Secret Santa gifts exchange service, Elfster.com is already contributing to keeping our planet sustainable by encouraging the reduction of gifts purchased - one gift purchased is always better than the purchase of ten. Social and environmental responsiblity has always been one of Elfster's core values. Just talk to Elfster's CEO, Peter Imburg, and you will get it quickly. Be careful not to catch the 'enthusiasm bug' when you are around him.

From Peter, "If I can be a part of an effort that influences change for the better, then I am happy, regardless of the business outcome."  

As another step towards their commitment to improve our eco-footprint, Elfster just launched a public Green Gifting exchange feature. Any visitor can participate by joining an exchange group(s) of their choice to regift. Yes, poor 'regifting' finally gets a reputation make-over! Green Gifting is regifting - conscientious reduction of your unwanted by giving it to someone who wants it. Elfster's regift exchange categories include CD's, DVD's, digital music, digital movies, toys, books and recipes (Elfster's favorite green gift). 

In addition to the fact you can now make great use of those old CD's (oooh, how about those Air Supply CD's?), you will be influencing others to consume responsibly.

Regift, Reuse and Reduce. 

Yay!
