Green Holidays – The Power of Green Purchasing

Green Holidays is INFORM’s annual fundraiser and the holiday season’s only environmentally themed fundraiser in New York City.

Green Holidays’ mission is to illustrate the importance of “green purchasing” in creating a sustainable society. The centerpiece of the event is its unique Sustainable Products Auction, which presents an array of environmentally preferable products and services. Special care is given to the selection of items, which must meet high standards in terms of sustainability and which showcase businesses and services that are not widely known yet exemplify environmental stewardship in their business practices.

INFORM is proud to be at the forefront of the effort to open people’s minds and re-direct their thinking as educated consumers and citizens of the world. By empowering consumers to make informed choices, not only during the holiday season but throughout the entire year, we make a positive impact on the health of our communities and our environment.
