Need some suggestions for a new business I want to start.

[complain jane]

I'm considering starting a business selling things online and was wondering if anyone could offer any suggestions for product lines. I want to create an online store selling things that are environmentally friendly, and thoughtfully chosen. Things that also celebrate nature. So far I've found these beautiful hand-blown glass hummingbird feeders... and that's about it. Many DU'ers I've come across are thoughtful, mindful people who care about the earth so I thought (I hoped) I could find some ideas for neat products here.

Also, toys/games/books for kids that teach respect for nature and wildlife would be right on the mark too.

1. Remember those mechanical birds that went up and down . . .

. . . after dipping their beaks in a glass of water.

I'd buy one of those.

They should make giant ones that could power a whole town.

Seriously, I would buy one.

2. Here's some ideas.

http://www.thomasregister.com/ - they have a bunch of wholesellers and dropshippers listed.

Another thing you can do is a Google search for wholesellers and drop shippers. See what you can find. Stay away from places that charge you money for the lists. Most of the people on the lists are not worth it.

3. I have done the Googling and the Chris Malta-ing.

There's just so much crap to weed through I thought maybe someone would know about some great company with cool products.
