ReGreen Office Goods
Greening your office doesn’t just mean recycling paper and shutting off power strips. Good green employees use products made from recycled fibers and corrugated cardboard, like the Sustainable Group’s Rebinder and Repockets. For a small fee, they’ll even custom print your logo on your Re-goods. SustainableGroup.net, prices vary

Those of you who remember smashing cans back in the day will get a kick out of the ecopod, a sleek, pretty device designed for the most efficient recyclers. Replacing the old-school hand lever is a modern step-pedal can crusher, which effortlessly flattens most cans and plastic bottles, then deposits them into a discreet storage bin. Additional containers hide paper, glass and plastic bags. Ecopod.org, $328.00

Energy Star-Approved
The very steamy LG Front Load SteamWasher gets a gold star (in this case, an Energy Star) for being among the most eco-friendly appliances. Its electric dryer partner isn’t Energy Star-certified, but earns a silver star for its dual humidity sensors, which prevent over drying. Besides, both come in Wild Cherry Red. How could you not get the set? Sears, $1,399 & $999
