Given that SUVs, trucks and contractor pick-ups clog the home improvement chain's parking lots, you would think Home Depot was one of the last places to bask in an environmentally sound glow. Not true!

I'm late on the Home Depot Earth Day promotion where they gave away 1 million compact flourescents, but that's no reason not to throw some link love their way. Why? Their Eco Options page.

The company's Flash-heavy microsite is filled with some interesting but sparse info, mostly on how the chain provides tons of eco-friendly options for households. More interesting (to me, anyway) were the tickers that run along the bottom. Clicking them reveals how Home Depot has unloaded tons of green merchandise and helped curb a nice chunk of CO2 emissions in the process.
