The Bear Necessities

150,000 teddy bears emerge from this Vermont company every year where an on-site hospital ensures lifetime care for every single one of them. It takes a huge pot of hot water and some super-cool ingredients to make this earth-friendly dish soap that cuts through grease and smells great too. This Cincinnati company helps bling out picnics everywhere by transforming giant paper rolls into 60,000 stylish paper cups every day. At this eco-minded Michigan factory, hummus tubs and yogurt cups get a new lease on life as toothbrushes that can be recycled over and over again.
