We must be on some new-age mailing list; this time, though, we were pleasantly surprised. The selection at Uncommon Goods, which tags itself as a gift catalog, features more than a few unique home-related items, and a good portion of what's in the catalog fits one idea of green: recycled-content, and made by artisans in the US. Other items, like this $12 mug, manage to walk the line between tacky fun and thought-provoking. And you can't argue with the prices, which seem mighty affordable to us.

My real issue with the mug is that it's just a mug. It has a fairly cool design on it, but it's a mug. I can walk to about 5 different shops in my neighborhood (or walking distance from my office) that sell mugs of similar quality at a similar price point. So why exactly do I need to have this one shipped from across the country? I mean, sure the design is cool, but in my opinion it's better to take real action by not buying more junk, not wasting energy and expending carbon, etc. The fact that it has a cutesy "green" gimmick is not enough to outweigh its inherent wastefulness. the opoponax on Oct 18, 2007
