Shopping Green

Sometimes 'green' doesn't mean a thing. Products come with images of mountains or claim to be green, natural or sustainable. Before you buy, get the facts. Read packaging and investigate beyond superficial claims. Often product web sites can provide more information. Visit the Green Seal web site, home of an independent non-profit organization dedicated to safeguarding the environment and transforming the marketplace.
