Some experts attribute climate change to human activity. One cause that is said to be a factor in climate change is human consumption. With the reduction of natural resources, different kinds of animals as well as their habitats, are slowly diminishing. However, the effects of such consumption may also result in extreme events such as hurricanes, typhoons, floods, landslides and a rise of sea level which submerges low lying land.

Although human consumption is thought to be one of the culprits of climate change, the need for humans to buy things cannot be completely stamped out! Thus, in response to this problem eco-friendly products are created.

Eco-friendly products are also called environmental friendly or green products. These product do not harm the environment so much in their production stage, use or disposal. The materials used for such products are either from recycled materials, organic or from biodegradable materials.

Due to growing numbers of companies that offers eco-friendly products, more people are becoming aware of the status of our environment and more are becoming conscious of their lifestyle. Therefore, they seek out stores that offer green products.

This and That 4 U (www.thisandthat4u.net) is among the many internet stores that are opening everyday, recently established by Georgia entrepreneur Ruth Gray. But what sets it apart among web stores is that it offers home essential and home décor products that are eco-friendly.

Their eco-friendly home décor and essentials are a great gift for people who are aspiring to a green lifestyle. They also have gift baskets available for different occasions.

Giving an eco-friendly gift would not only bring smiles from the recipient, it will also help the environment. In addition, an eco-friendly gift can be used as a medium to persuade or encourage people to live a greener lifestyle.
