Cyber Monday, which takes place on the Monday after Thanksgiving, is very similar to Black Friday. Both days are all about shopping for a variety of different items for a low discount price. The only difference is that Black Friday is usually for in store shoppers and Cyber Monday targets people that choose to shop. This year The Nature Conservancy Group, which is one of the largest environmental groups in the nation, is trying to change Cyber Monday to Green Gift Monday. This day will still be about shopping for low discounts prices but it will help support Conservation groups and products that are made to help the environment.
One writer for the Chronicle of Philanthropy name Raymund Flandez a wrote a great article titled " Will Green Gift Monday Snare Cyber Monday Shoppers?" This article explains the transition from shopping online to shopping green online. It talks about the new web campaign that The Nature Conservancy has put together to help spread the word about buying environmentally friendly products as well as making donations to different Conservation Groups. I chose to blog about this article because "going green" is a major issue that needs to be addressed. I agree with buying environmentally friendly product because anything geared toward making the world better is a great idea. I learned a lot about online shopping form this article because I usually go in the store to shop. The information in this article is vital and should be shared with you friends and family. This article inspires me to start buying more environmentally friendly products.
