I hope to see mostly mass transit -- made comfortable, fast, convenient.
Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Gelly
This stuff is great. Many people keep an aloe plant at home, to break off a piece in case of burns to the skin. This product will keep you from having to break off pieces of your houseplants. Or you can bring it with you on vacation. It works just as well as the fresh plant. And it's certified organic. It's useful for just about any kind of skin burn, even sunburn, as it seems to accelerate the healing process. It's also great as an after-shave gel, in case of skin irritation from shaving.

Tom's of Maine unscented deodorant
In my personal experience, most deodorants don't really work. But this one does. And it has no added scent, and dries fairly quickly. And it also contains no harmful ingredients (to the best of my knowledge, anyway). I try to stay away from deodorants containing aluminum compounds, which research has shown to cause brain damage. Almost all the conventional, advertised deodorants contain them. This product is for both men and women (guys, don't worry about the picture of blossoms on the label -- most people will never peek inside your medicine cabinet anyway ;-|).

Aubrey Organics Herbal Pine Deodorant Spray
In my personal experience, most deodorants don't really work. But this one not only works well, but is nearly all-herbal, contains no harmful compounds, and is organic. The downside is that after about a year of use, I found that it started to irritate my skin too much.

Rainbow Grocery
This is my favorite place to shop: Lots of sustainable choices. The lowest prices in town for sustainable foods. Socially responsible and engaged with the community. Ecologically committed. A worker cooperative. My only complaint is that there is only one Rainbow Grocery.

Nancy's organic yogurt
It's wonderful, and among the least expensive brands of organic yogurt. I like to buy it unflavored and add jam, honey, raisins, molasses, or cucumber slices.

Nancy's organic cottage cheese
In most of the stores in my neighborhood, this is the only organic cottage cheese available. Yet it's unbelievably sour! I don't know how anyone can stand it. Horizon organic cottage cheese is far better

O Organics jam
This must be the cheapest organic jam around. And the ingredients list looks pretty wholesome (no corn syrup, for example). And it's tasty. (FYI: O Organics is Safeway's new line of low-price organic foods. A number of O Organics products are of really poor quality, but this one is good.)

O Organics crunchy peanut butter
If you want the best of the best try Maranatha organic nut butters, but if you want to save money, O Organics is inexpensive but is really quite good too. And the ingredients list is short and simple. I notice that before Safeway started its new O Organics line, all their organic products were super-premium-priced. I feel that by buying the better O Organics products, I'm supporting Safeway in doing the right thing.
