Ecoist
Ecoist is where I’m sending my anti-green, egoist friends. Handbags, belts, and accessories made from candy wrappers and billboards, necklaces designed with recycled glass beads, and repurposed vinyl records that tell time, all of them make me dig this green movement thing!
GreatGreenGoods
You can shop on this blog, so I’m calling it a “shblog.” While I don’t need much, I do want the Snuffalufagus ottoman made of 100 percent recycled materials by Design Within Reach. They carry gifts for pets, baby, travel, as well as shoes, gadgets, and even help create eco-friendly weddings, which may be the only kind of wedding I’ll attend unless of course it’s an exotic destination wedding.
Rawganique
I still believe hemp will take over the world, and at Rawganique, it very well could be. Hemp shower curtains, hemp belts, and hemp “cheeky shorts” underwear, oh, my! Not to mention the foodstuffs I can try after my month-long cleanse, Raqganique might help me go raw, after all.
The Green Store
The online store sells green toys and games, to gardening and composting products, to green stationary and fair trade gifts. If the online experience isn’t your style, then pop in to their actual store in Maine where everything lives. You can walk their creaky wood floors and remember how it used to be while supporting local business.
GreaterGood
My grandmother always said to “do the nearest right thing,” and GreaterGood does just that. The site is the gateway to a series of sites that give back every time you shop. So when you buy that recycled silk scarf on TheChildHealthSite, not only are you buying green, but a portion of the proceeds goes to the partnering charities that help bring health care to vulnerable children in the world.
