Dear Readers,

When I'm shopping for the perfect gifts for my friends and family, I want to make sure that I am not only getting them something they will love, but something that's healthy and sustainable as well. So I asked Environmental Working Group's top researchers to come up with some great gift ideas to share with you.

When you conveniently shop through EWG's special Amazon link, you'll be supporting EWG while you shop. A percentage of what you pay (at no extra cost to you) will be donated to EWG no matter what or when you buy.

We know you rely on our research and consumer tips throughout the year, and this is your chance to help us keep providing you with the information you need, while also buying those thoughtful gifts for your loved ones.

Here are some festive, and green, gift ideas:

• A headset for your cell phone, to limit exposure to radiation
• 
  
• Safer cookware like stainless steel, cast iron and glass
• 
  
• Great documentaries like Gasland, King Corn: You Are What You Eat and Food, Inc.
• 
  
• Insightful books on green living and healthy eating like The Conscious Kitchen, Green Goes with Everything: Simple Steps to a Healthier Life and a Cleaner Planet andGreen, Greener, Greenest: A Practical Guide to Making Eco-Smart Choices a Part of Your Life
• 
  
• Shopping for a new baby? Check out safer bath toys, natural wood rattles orcomfortable organic cotton onesies
• 
  
• Really stumped on a gift idea? You can never go wrong with a gift card

This year, you can give your loved ones great gifts while still supporting EWG. By shopping on Amazon through our special link (bookmark http://ewg.org/amazon so you can always find it when you do your holiday shopping!) a portion of what you pay will support EWG and the work that you count on all year long.

Click here to get started on your holiday Amazon shopping. It's a great - and free! - way to support our research.

EWG wants to give you the information you need to make smarter, healthier choices. We can't do this work without our supporters, so thank you for being there for us time and time again.

Happy Holidays,

Ken Cook
President, Environmental Working Group

P.S. At EWG, we want to keep providing you with the information you need to make smart, healthy choices for you and your family. We are fast approaching the end of the year and must reach our 2011 fundraising goals to keep producing our trailblazing research and consumer guides like Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce, the Cell Phone Radiation Guide, and more!

Make a tax-deductible donation of $10 or more today to help us meet our goal, and we'll send you our exclusive ChicoBag mesh produce bag as a special thank you. And if you donate today, a generous donor will match your gift, doubling your impact!
