What’s green about a workout DVD? In this case, the case—Gaiam’s new eco-friendly, plastic-free DVD packaging is made from post-consumer recycled paperboard, and it’s 100% recyclable and biodegradable. So while you gloat about how green your gift is, you can join your fave fitness fanatic in a kick-@#* workout with Patricia Moreno. Also in “green sleeves”: Quick Start Walking for Weight Loss, Total Body Cardio, Cardio Balance Ball and Yoga Dance Fusion.
