TreeHugger knows that we can't shop or buy our way to global sustainability. While there are certainly lots of things you can do to help save the planet other than rushing out to grab the latest and greatest "green" product, we all still need to buy things. Sure, reusing, recycling and repurposing are all better eco-options than buying brand-new, but there comes a moment when your favorite shoes are finally worn beyond repair, and when you need to upgrade your work clothes, or kitchen utensils, or living room furniture, and we're here to help you do it green.

What you'll find here is a carefully-selected, curated list of five of the best options available to you that combine TreeHugger's sleek, modern, non-hippie aesthetic with low-impact, earth-friendly designs and materials. They offer a quick, easy, hip way to shift your life in a greener direction today.

For quick, easy access at the stroke of a key and click of a mouse, they're all be kept right here for your browsing convenience, ready and willing to assist you in your daily endeavors to live green. Dig in!

And be sure to check out our guides for How to Go Green and our book Ready, Set, Green too!
