It’s that time of year — when we celebrate high school and college grads taking their next big step. They notoriously need green $$, but we can also opt to pick-up something useful for them without breaking the bank.
Spurred by the needs of the grads that I know, here are a few eco minded ideas (ranging from $6 to $69) you might want to consider. All of these items are available at socially responsible, ecoXOXO.com.
