An imported one-liter plastic water bottle burns through ¼-liter of oil just for the pumping, bottling and shipping process. A 16-oz bottle can cost up to $2. Tap water costs just $0.0015 per gallon. Save yourself some money and reach for the tap.
Why It's Good: Paddywax candles are made to eco-shine as gifts or little green luxuries for yourself. Their scents are fresh and modern. The Adara (pictured, right), which is the Greek word for beauty, is a lemongrass and green tea number that comes with container that you can use as a decorative pencil holder, a stylish re-purposing trick we can get with.
Why It's Green: The candles are made from natural fragrance oils and a soy wax blend – most candles contain paraffin wax, a petroleum by-product of refined gasoline. Save the wrapping paper, as these pretty ladies are gift-ready bare-naked.
