Even if you decide you really must buy him something new this year, rest assured that you have an every-growing array of great green gift options.

There was a time, not so long ago, when excess body hair represented a commitment to the environment. Letting it grow on legs, armpits, face’s — somehow symbolized a back-to-basics simplicity that put nature first and pushed vanity to a distant second.
