GreenTech: Earthdrive USB drive is made of corn
The ATP Earthdrive isn't made entirely of corn (a notoriously poor conductor of electricity, which is the reason I always head straight for a cornfield during thunderstorms) but partly of that particular commodity, as well as other elements more greenish than your average USB drive.
Apart from its probable deliciousness, the Earthdrive sources green cred from the fact that the manufacturer donates a portion of each unit sold to an organization that plants trees. The packaging is also made of recyled materials.
Practically speaking, the Earthdrive come in storage sizes ranging from 1GB to 8 GB, and will run you from $29 to $99. That's a little more costly than lesser, planet-wrecking USB keys, but Gaia will smile whenever you transfer data.

That's seems like a great deal for the price. Sure, you are paying a bit more than probably most petroleum based storage drives but not so much more than it is unreasonable. Great post!
