Give the gift of green this holiday season, and skip the department store earrings this time around. Natural gas marketers are joining the fight against global warming, with MXenergy's Project GreenGift offering a unique way to both go green, and offer a friendly green gift for those who matter most.

The program allows you to purchase a tree to be planted by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai (CSK) Tribes in the State of Montana, with the idea that said tree will offset a portion of carbon emissions. Your lucky recipient receives a certificate from Sustainable Forestry Management Ltd. (SFM) showing the environmental benefits associated with the tree's planting, specifically the carbon emissions offset for one year.

You can choose from four different options that include offsetting your energy bill and transportation. By planting a tree with MXenergy's Project GreenGift, you are helping the Earth's natural filtration system change harmful carbon dioxide to precious oxygen.
