Really Dirty Diapers:

Buy reusable cloth diapers not only for a cleaner environment (disposables can take 250-500 years to decompose), but also for the health of your baby. The average parent uses 6,000 - 8,000 disposable diapers before their child is potty-trained. These diapers contain sodium polyacrylate, the same substance removed from tampons in 1985, and dioxin, listed by the EPA as the most toxic of all cancer-linked chemicals.

Why It's Good:

A poor college student's dream come true, this warehouse-style vintage shop has two floors jam-packed with vintage clothes, costumes and accessories. Eclectic and funky, they call themselves the "alternative department store." Be ready to dig—but you can definitely find a gem. We got our high-school formal dress here: An empire-waist green velvet number—very Audrey! And don't miss the "world famous pile of clothing" for a dollar a pound.

Why It's Green:

Buying secondhand is one of the three R's—reuse, baby—so buy away: You're cutting down on waste and eliminating the resources, materials, energy and carbon emissions that go into producing a new product.
