As we all work diligently pulling gobs and gobs of watts out of projects (and we're all using control systems to reduce kWh, right?!), we can't forget we have other impacts on the planet as we do that.
I'm sure you've seen plenty of us face-to-face bringing you all kinds of wonderful lighting products so I'm going to throw out a product that is sustainable but isn't lighting with the hope we can all be globally more sustainable ourselves ... not just making our customers more sustainable.
There is a great little company here in Boulder; English Retreads. As a self-described hardcore vegetarian, Heather English wanted a new handbag that was fashionable and invincible but couldn't go for leather. So, she started a company that makes them from recycled truck inner tubes. My wife has had one for over a year, and it looks just as good as they day she got it. They have recently added accessories like belts that are eco-chic.
