It's Easy Being Green Online! Eco-conscious websites bring glamour to green living
By Susan Kleinman
If you think "green living" is all about baggy burlap clothing and dry granola bars, think again. As a growing number of us consider our roles in keeping the earth clean and our bodies healthy, hundreds of web-based companies are springing up to provide ecologically-sound, socially responsible and often surprisingly stylish products. The best part? The merchandise is all a mouse click away, so you can shop without gassing up your car and polluting the environment. Here are some of Fine Living's favorite green websites this season.

VivaTerra's slogan is "eco living with style," and they deliver that and more with hundreds of chic, earth-friendly products. The items range in style from outdoorsy and earthy to jaw-dropping elegant, and include gifts, food and clothing from around the world.
There's something for just about every taste here; we especially like these recycled glass dinner plates, this fun and funky candy-wrapper tote, and the vintage ruler chairs. And for colorful storage in the playroom or family room, check out these bins made of recycled flip-slip scraps.
