How about a board for 'Ethical moneysaving'? This could be a place to ask questions like 'Where are the cheapest Organic/Fair trade Bananas?' or information like 'ABC Electric Co. provide power only from Wind farms and will match the price of you local supplier'.
Yes, I know these questions can be asked in other sections, however I think a specific board would be monitored by ‘experts’ and would produce more knowledgeable advise (E.g. just like the gambling board).
P.S. I am not, by a long shot, an environmentalist. However I do sometimes wonder if I can moneysave and still be an ethical consumer.

Count my vote in.
It could also cover making things and second hand things etc.
Also good for those who are self sufficient as well maybe?
Cheap gardening ideas, how to make your own compost etc, and free flowers and stuff?
