Buying clothing at vintage and consignment stores that sell lightly worn designer clothes is a green way to look great and save money, too. In my favorite store in Los Angeles -- Decades Two -- the racks are full of steeply discounted, barely worn designer clothes often resold by celebrities who wear them to red carpet events. When you find a dress, suit or pant size that fits you, make note of the seller's ID number; this person is your size, so there's a good chance other garments they are selling will fit you, too.

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.
