This Turkey Day, we can all be thankful that preparing an organic meal and decorating with an eye towards sustainability needn't be nerve-racking (unfortunately we can't say the same for dealing with the in-laws).

We're just back from L.A. where we created The Ecofabulous Lounge at The Opportunity Green Conference, and now we're heading out to the Big Apple where Zem will be stationed at eBay's Holiday Pop-Up Store on W. 57th St.! Showcasing some of the season's hottest items in the "eco-excellence" category, the pop-up store gives visitors an opportunity to shop the entire eBay marketplace – via internet kiosks, handheld tablets and the eBay iPhone app – to find the perfect holiday gift at the perfect price for everyone on the list. When looking for environmentally conscious gifts for friends & family, remember that the greenest product is often the one that already exists!
