Eat to Ease Consumption:

How can a good breakfast make us less energy-dependent? If every U.S. citizen ate just one meal a week composed of locally and organically raised meats and produce, we would reduce our country's oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels of oil each week.

Roughhewn Oval Sandalwood Vase by Mbanda

Why It's Good:

Feel good about buying home accessories when they are as beautiful and socially-conscious as this hand-carved vase from Mozambique. The proceeds of its sale go directly to help combat global hunger.

Why It's Green:

The Hunger Site will fund 50 cups of food for each vase purchased. Its fair-trade website is a sibling to other online stores that are solely dedicated to charitable causes, including saving the rainforest. While the sandalwood is not necessarily sustainably harvested, the vase is hand-carved, saving on carbon emitted by machines, and provides a fair wage to local artisans.
