Today marks the kick-off of Green America‘s GreenDeals.org inaugural holiday shopping event called Green Tuesday … you can save money all week while you shop for eco-friendly gifts on the GreenDeals.org website. Here’s how it works:

Between now and next Tuesday, GreenDeals.org is offering a total of 15 to 20 green products and coupons from members of their Green Business Network™, at discounts of 30 to 60 percent off.

Operating like a “green Groupon,” GreenDeals.org features a new green deal or discount every 24-48 hours. Here are some deals you can expect to see within the next week, in celebration of Green Tuesday:

• Jewelry made from recycled nuclear bomb equipment, by FromWartoPeace.com
• Indoor mushroom garden kits (as featured in the Wall Street Journal)
• USDA organic-certified Organic Essence lip balms
• Green auto (and bicycle!) memberships through the Better World Club
• Fair Trade and organic clothing for women and men from Indigenous Designs

It’s one week only, so sign up today and tell all your friends about it, too.

The Argentinian design firm, Gruba, creates products from salvaged urban fragments, like the upcycled wooden blinds used to make the table and chair pictured above, and below.

GRUBA’s creative team of Maria Constanza Nuenez and Gabriel Pires Mateus creates their re-made products and alternative architectural spaces from the debris and salvage of their Buenos Aires community.
