The Case for Compact Fluorescent Lights:

If every American home replaced one bulb with an Energy Star CFL, the greenhouse gas emissions of 800,000 cars would be prevented from going into the atmosphere. You'd save about $30 on energy costs over the life of each bulb.

Guayaki Gaucho Gourd and Stainless Bombilla Straw

Why It's Good:

If you like a warm drink in the morning, try Organic Yerba Mate, also known as "the drink of the Gods" to many indigenous groups in South America. (Personally speaking, this writer is addicted to the Mate Chocolatte flavor.)

Delicious and loaded with heathful properties, Yerba Mate is traditionally consumed out of hollowed-out gourd with a stainless straw. This style of gourd is named in honor of the free-spirited Argentinian Gauchos or cowboys.

Why It's Green:

The fairly traded gourd is the traditional vessel for drinking 100% organic hot Yerba Mate. By producing Yerba Mate in its solar-powered main facility, Guayaki reduces its footprint to a measurably carbon-negative level.
