Start the New Year with a clean slate and send yourself (or someone else) a TerraPass Gift Certificate. They can purchase carbon offsets for their car, the emmissions of a cow (yes, cattle farts!), a plane ride, or even choose from Climate Change Chocolates - each bar includes carbon offsets and tips for reducing your carbon footprint inside the wrapper. Sure, they have the usual things like reuseable shopping bags, but they also have cool jewelry, toys, games, LED Christmas lights - tons of cool stuff.

You can even send the gift certificate via email so you don't use any paper.

Save the Earth. It's the only planet with chocolate!

Do you hate having all those little nubs of crayons haning around? Now you can remelt all those little bits of colored wax into brand new crayons. The Crayola Crayon Maker uses a low-wattage light bulb to melt the old crayon bits into 3 new crayons, and you can watch the whole process through the see-through dome that locks in place. Adhesive labels let you give your new colors their own names.

Show your kids how fun it can be to be thrify and recycle those old crayons into new ones.

I firmly believe that if someone were to bring back the Full Service gas station concept they would make a lot of money and cut down on the number of car breakdowns in this country. Until then, we'll have to keep doing everything ourselves, and the Accutire Digital Tire Pressure Gauge can help. It features a large, backlit LCD screen as well as a flashlight aimed in the same direction as the nozzle. It's accurate to within .5 psi, it remembers the correct tire pressure for your car, and it beeps when it verifies the reading.

Keeping the correct tire pressure for your car saves gas and your tires, therefore it saves you money. If it would put the air in for you, too, it would be perfect! Get going on that concept, guys.

This cozy Blue Peaceful Recycled Cotton Scarf is made from leftover material collected from apparel and upholstery factories that would otherwise be discarded. Matching mittens available. Made in the USA, too!

It's a new day and soon to be a new year and a new administration. "All We Are Saying is Give Peace A Chance."

Hand embroidered in fine detail, this Hemp Purse and Phone Pouch Set is woven of natural hemp and cotton in the tradition of northern Thailand. A longan wood latch closes the purse, while the phone holder features a coconut shell button.

What a great gift for the eco-friendly shopper that is looking for style as well as a well-crafted item.

Clean water is rapidly becoming the latest resource to become less available and more exprensive. Your local government or utility asks you conserve, then raises the rate because they lose income. That stinks! And to add insult to injury, your teenager (or dearly beloved) likes to run the shower until the water or bathroom gets hot.

The Ladybug Shower Adapter will help with one of those problems. Every time you turn on the shower, the Ladybug will automatically cut off the water flow as soon as the shower temperature reaches 95 degrees. Say goodbye to wasted water and energy! 

If you don't like a cold bathroom, go buy a small bathroom heater. I did!
