If going organic seems too intimidating, start with what is termed the "Dirty Dozen". The "Dozen" is the first twelve on EWG's list of fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide load (peaches being #1). If shopping, AT LEAST, buy these organic. The last twelve are the "safest" (#45 being onions).

It's a start, but it encourages awareness of what you are eating.

Although, I look forward to shopping at the farmer's market every week (when it's in season). You are most likely buying organic there AND supporting local farmers. Your choices matter!

Fire and Light - Recycled Glass

First to recommend

Description

All this glass is gorgeous! If I could post more pics, I would. They make all pieces for a place setting, vases and candle holders.
They boast that 7 out of 9 colors use more than 90% recycled glass. USA, hand-made - mostly from their local recycling (PA)

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

Tableware - Natural Fiberware - Green Party Goods

First to recommend

Description

I think I would buy this stuff just to see it compost and put it in the oven! Who would have thought "disposable" would be good?

Is freezer and microwave-safe, and unbelievably, the claim it can go into a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes!

It also decomposes in a lake or river for 14 days, then which, the fibers can be eaten by the fish!! (decomposes in compost in 2 days and in the landfill in 90 days - how do they know this?)

Greenpan with Thermolon

First to recommend

Description

This is the next NEW GREAT thing in cookware. This is NOT teflon, that, as you know, is a probable carinogen and releases toxins at high temps (no need to throw out what you have, just don't use it on high and replace with more responsible cookware). If teflon can kill birds when used with high heat, then how could it be alright for our lungs???

This ceramic-based, non-stick cookware is better than other non-stick products, can be heated up to 850 degrees F (what??) in the oven or on the stove, and is scratch-resistant (I'd like to see that) and heats evenly.

Not only is it good for our indoor health, but the process of making it has 40-50% energy savings compared to teflon.

Greenware Compostable Cups, 16 oz., 50/Pack at Staples

First to recommend

Description

Look what is at Staples!!! Made in the USA from renewable corn (though not organic - it's a step in the right direction). They are only $7.49 for a 50 pack, so if you buy these for a gathering or work, please advertise that they are compostable and easily found around town!

For COLD beverages, since they will start to melt with heat!

Ok, so these are not in the mid-Ohio Staples, so be sure to call and check! (via Ideal Bite)

Nubius Organics - Hemp Tea Bag - Reusable

First to recommend

Description

Maybe this won't be as exciting to others, but for me, this is a real find! I've tried buying loose tea, but the dunker-things always leave a few leaves in my drink. This may be the answer to that terrible dilema.
