Think recycled glass the next time you need wineglasses, tumblers, plates and bowls. Many discount furnishing stores sell a variety of tabletop items made from post-consumer recycled glass, which is collected from curbside pickup. You can usually identify recycled glass two ways: Most have a greenish tint to the finish or have a small sticker with the word "RECYCLED" on it. And recycled glass is affordable, so being ecological is economical, too.

When you find the perfect shade of lipstick, don't toss out the tube when it's time to get a new one. Look for refillable cases that let you unscrew the old lipstick and replace it with a new one. Aveda (www.aveda.com) sells a refillable kit that's also made from a resin of natural materials and a high percentage of recycled aluminum.

If you just can't live without your favorite sunscreen, organic shampoo or moisturizer on the road, it might be time to pull out that infomercial splurge: the vacuum food sealer. Originally designed to vacuum-seal food by sucking out air to help lessen spoilage, these machines (and the accompanying bags) can also be used to create individual-sized servings of beauty products for travel. Just heat and seal the bags into smaller compartments, squeeze your favorite product in, and then heat-seal closed. No muss, no fuss.
