With so many green websites springing up, finding the best products for the lowest cost has become as challenging as comparison shopping for less earth-conscious products. To find what you are looking for — and to ensure that you are not forking over too much "green" when you shop green — log onto PristinePlanet.com. The site features more than 1,000 products from eco-friendly companies, with product reviews and a Merchant Report Card that allows merchants to explain how they are going above and beyond to be socially responsible, says Cathy Finn, marketing contact for the website.

Caveat: Anyone can call their website "green" or "eco-conscious," and the unregulated terms are often used a bit too loosely. Before you buy an item, read the fine print to find out what it's made of and how it is produced. If you have any concerns or questions, e-mail the website and ask for detailed product information.
