Tote That!:

Need a reason to use a reusable tote or bottle? You won't be contributing to an island, or gyre, of plastic garbage floating in the Pacific Ocean that weighs near 3.5 million tons and is twice the size of Texas. Plastic never decomposes, choking marine life and leaching chemicals into the ecosystem.

Olive Oil and Truffle Gift Set

Vosges Olive Oil and Truffle Gift Box

Why It's Good:

Where should we start? The nine-piece Collezione Italiano gift box contains five different types of truffles that play with sweet-and-savory flavors: They're all impressive, but the hands-down star of the collection is the "Rooster" truffle with taleggio cheese. The Lucini Premium Select Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes in handy when preparing white chocolate paninis (recipe included).

Why It's Green:

Vosges offsets 100 percent of the electricity used to manufacture its chocolate products through renewable energy purchases. It's also planning the construction of a platinum-level LEED-certified, sustainable chocolate manufacturing facility. In addition, many of the ingredients (including the sugar, butter, cream and nuts) in its chocolates are organic; the olive oil is a product of sustainable agriculture, and the olives used in its production are grown under careful supervision on small estates in Tuscany.
