'Tis the season of giving...to EWG, of course!

It's never easy or fun to ask people for money. But. At least in our case we know how well we use it and how important our work is in the fight to protect environmental health. And we're not the only ones who think that, which is good news. We've earned 4-star status from Charity Navigator for years now.

So please, think of us this year, and how the work we do affects your family. Plus, you'll get our fabulous safer products bag, and these days, just about everyone (on your holiday shopping list!) could use one, don't you think? Here's what's in it:

1. A 27 oz. Klean Kanteen stainless steel bottle -- the perfect solution to using less plastic and avoiding contaminated bottled water
2. Jumbo Enviro-Tote made from 100% recycled plastic, printed with EWG's pollution solutions
3. 6-piece Pyrex glass container set (no more Tupperware!)
4. Crummy Brothers organic chocolate chip cookies
5. $25 in free product coupons, plus...
6. EWG's most popular tools for healthy living

As a special incentive, the first 500 donors who order the gift bag will also receive a complimentary copy of the book Green Goes With Everything by Sloan Barnett.

Why support EWG? Because we research, expose and inform you about toxic chemicals and hidden contaminants in everything from your shampoo to your kitchen cupboard. Then we offer "pollution solutions" to help you make healthier choices every day. Take our fight against bisphenol A (BPA). EWG helped expose the risks of BPA - a potent hormone disrupter that's been leaching toxic chemicals into countless everyday items. BPA is found in baby bottles, water bottles, infant formula and even our canned foods. We've been fighting non-stop to make sure BPA is banned from consumer products.

As consumers, it's hard to know how to avoid BPA. That's why we filled our 2008 Pollution Solutions Holiday Gift Bag with BPA-free goodies to keep you healthy and also reduce waste.

When you make your first-time donation to EWG of $135 or more, your contribution will be matched dollar for dollar by generous donors and we'll send you a Pollution Solutions Holiday Gift Bag.

Donating to EWG is a great investment. We pride ourselves on staying lean and stretching your donations to the limit -- so your money goes toward groundbreaking research and sweeping environmental change. And with a more environmentally friendly Congress and Presidential administration on the way in, EWG will have even more opportunities in 2009 to push for the kind of change we need to protect our health and our environment.

Go ahead, do it! Just click here to make your donation and get your 2008 Pollution Solutions Holiday Gift Bag today. You can get started on your holiday shopping with a great deal, and you can rest assured that your donation will have a big impact on the work we do in 2009 and beyond.

PS - Feeling torn between keeping the gift bag for yourself or giving it to a friend? We'll send you two for just $245 (that's a savings of $35) and your donation will still be doubled.
