The good guys

Many of the companies that we write about routinely give to good causes. Check out what we've found recently.

Charitable Cuisine

Now you can enjoy the foods of Southeast Asia while helping the region rebuild from last year's devastating tsunami. One hundred percent of Bali Spice's 2005 profits go to tsunami relief. We like the zesty noodle kits. From Peaceworks, $3. 212.616.3006; peaceworks.com

Think Pink

Two great companies have joined the fight against breast cancer. Jason Natural's new Pink Hope Lip Temptations makes your lips shimmer, tastes minty--and 10 percent of very purchase goes to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. $6. 877.527.6601; jason-natural.com. Avalon Organics supports The Breast Cancer Fund, which works to eliminate risky ingredients from personal care products. Lather up for a good cause with Avalon's all-natural Lavender shower gel, $9.50/12 oz. avalonorganics.com

Make All Your Clothes Green

If every household in the United States replaced just one 50-oz. bottle of petroleum-based laundry detergent with Seventh Generation's vegetable-based version, nearly 100,000 barrels of oil could be saved. Petroleum is a nonrenewable resource that causes environmental degradation. Earth-friendly Laundry Liquid, $6/50 oz. 800.456.1191; seventhgeneration.com
