While not driving to a store is a good thing, shopping at local independent stores IS a good thing. Local stores put more money back into the community than chains and nationals, and they provide jobs. Yes it is important to save money and gas, but saving communities can be just as important. Thanks!

Another vote for the locally owned businesses: increasingly hard to operate in the face of the bigger and bigger box and the internet too. My store offers shipping (even locals who can't get out because of winter or age, sometimes) to bridge the gap. And think again about Burt's Bees: Burt's gone, Chlorox is in (sold for $6.5 million).

Fantastic! Have you heard about Etsy's Trashion? Encouraging people to buy handmade & recycled - check it out here - http://www.etsytrashion.com/ & look for discounts that shop owners are having on Save the World Sunday, Dec. 2nd.

WTH! The Bert's Bees code (BITERS20) is coming up as "invalid". What's the deal?

Yet another shout out for local businesses. We've already heard about supporting the community and what-not, so I'd just like to add that if you keep it really local, it might even be possible to do your shopping on foot, or by public transit. Then you won't feel so guilty when you stop off for an irish creme coffee to warm your reddened nose and toes. Check with your local chamber of commerce, business improvement district, or visitor center for information about local shopping areas. For example, the City of Denver has produced some cool "local flavor guides" for areas of the City that are often overlooked in favor of big box stores and malls. http://www.localflavorguides.com/home. And if you just have to get your super cool green gadget and your local store doesn't have it, they might be willing to order it for you.

Can you explain the calculation where overnight air shipping uses 40% less fuel than the average car trip to the store? How do overnight shipping and car trips compare in terms of greenhouse gases?

I'm so unhappy about the fact that CLOROX has BOUGHT Burt's Bees. I really don't understand how BBs can claim to still be earth friendly when they have sold out to CLOROX. Disheartening news. What's next? Whole foods gets bought by Kraft?

I'm very disappointed you included Burt's Bees in your picks. It's definitely time to give them the boot - anything owned by Clorox is less than 'ideal' in my book!
