~Fresh home grown pizza~ Wow, this is that good. The ingredients are bought from small farms, the pie is made with local artisinal cheese and yes! the toppings are grown right in Chef Michael Ayoub's garden. *Best wood oven, artisinal pizza ever!*

Bio Bags rock! A great replacement for plastic bags. I work for a trade show decorator and we use them at every show. In fact, we liked BioBags so much that we use them in place of vinyl tabletops - saving our shows from the curse of pvc. BioBags is a great company with an inventive, open staff. Love them!

Frog's Leap -no- Awesome Leap Not only is Frog's Leap 100% solar powered, have a potentially self sustaining garden, it's housed in a LEED certified and has over 200 acres of organic grapes.

Minty Smile for the camera LOVE IT! Even before I made a conscious decision to "go green", I was using Tom's of Maine Mint toothpaste. Why? Because the flavor is fantastic and not artificial AND it feels super clean.

Not just a hand cream, a fantasy cream for hands. Putting on Sabon hand cream is like taking a mini break during the day. The smell is so lovely, without being over powering, that your mind takes a small scent break and goes back to work calmly reinvigorated.

Shower Oil?? No Oil that was sent from God to delight your body and your nose I may have mentioned my difficulties in finding organic soap to replace my beloved Dove. Well * Duh* I use this everyday, it's not only all natural but the glass container and the paper wrapping are totally sustainable. *Sabon has the greatest body products ever invented*
The smell alone cures...

Sabon - My dreams have come to life * I recently moved from New York, where Sabon stores dotted the landscape*
Oh heaven! Sabon's lotions, cremes, scents and scrubs are the best I have ever used. The all natural, organic ingredients and beautiful scent combinations make me want to jump on a plane to Israel and jump in the dead...

Dog food without the by-products To preface this, I want to say that the NutroMax (wet) dog food was involved in the recall, just because Nutro Max doesn't use animal by-products does not mean it's manufacturing plants are sanitary.
That said, the mini chunks contains real chicken and lamb, and don't contain chemical...

Shampoo without the animal testing, and ummm.. it's herbal I admit, I did not buy this, my boyfriend did. He is that one step closer to green than I am. But that's ok - because if he buys it, I can TRY it and see IF I like it.
Good thing, I do LIKE it. The smell is slightly bubble-gum, or candy-esque, which is not cool and why I didn't give 5 stars...

The words city and car should not be used in the same breath, but if they are... Unlike New York, SF is one of those cities where are car comes in quite useful. Not only does CCS save me money - no insurance, no parking, no gas, no car payment- but it's usually there when I need it. They have pods all over the city, and tons of cars to chose from.
I don't love their automated...
