Tilapia Is Tops :

Unlike most farm-raised fish, which must eat other fish to grow, tilapia is an omnivore that can thrive on soy, corn, wheat, algae and plant waste. Plus, tilapia farms can be housed indoors where resulting wastewater and pollution are better controlled. Thirty thousand pounds of tilapia can be raised on just three acres annually — the same amount of space it takes to raise one 650-pound cow. — Slowfoodnation.org

Jimnie Recycled Retractable Ballpoint Pens

Why It's Good:

Some people are really particular about pens. The rest of us just scramble to find anything to write with. These retractable ballpoint pens are not the most fancy pen on the market, but they are lightweight and write well. Perfect for scribbling notes. They come in a pack of twelve, so keep them everywhere – in your purse, in the kitchen, on your nightstand…

Why It's Green:

Contains recycled parts from places that you would never believe:  

the body is made from car headlights and compact discs, the plastic tip is made from recycled cell phones, and the internal ink tube is made from plastic shopping bags and car battery encasements.

Where To Get It:
