Don't get me wrong... I'm a sucker for Crate and Barrel and Williams-Sonoma too and will most likely include one of them in the registry list. But I also want to search out some lesser-known, "smaller fish" companies that are committed to sustainable, recycled, and fair-trade products.
The following is the start of my non-narrowed-down registry list... most likely with more to come.
A website that encourages fair-trade with artisans across the globe. Not only can you find eco-friendly products, you can also furnish your home with a bamboo vase from Vietnam or a recycled water glass pitcher from Bolivia.
Translation: "Living Earth."
This company is the essence of eco practices and eco products. They have a sizeable selection of bed, bath, dining, and decor furnishings. Even if you don't use it as a registry, you at least have to check out their doormat made out of discarded tape-measurers:

Or recycled flip-flops:

Also, an easy go-to-resource for all things wedding and green:The Registry on the Green Bride Guide
Add it to your registry for an early shower gift!
And finally, there's Gaiam.
I remembered Gaiam moreso for yoga products and just now discovered their eco-home department. Just click on their "Eco Home + Outdoor" tab and register-away! Plus, they're currently having an 80% off annual sale. :-)
