Whole Foods Market has been at the center of some controversies, particularly over accusations of union-busting. For many shoppers used to conventional supermarkets, however, the wind-powered grocery giant has proven to be an excellent "gateway drug" into the world of eco-living. Their latest sly trick is to include a customer-suggested greener living tip in every edition of fl@vors, their free e-mail newsletter. (The June 15th recommendation is cleaning with vinegar.) Anyone who submits a tip chosen for publication will receive a $25 Whole Foods gift card. It's a nice little way to encourage customers to think green around the house. ::Green Mission Tips
