WELCOME
This site is designed to be a resource for people making purchasing decisions who want to minimize the environmental impact of their choices.
There are a few ways to navigate this site. You'll find a table of contents at the bottom of this page that will show you all our basic categories, or you can simply click on the product categories on the left of this page.
We intend this site to be a direct source of information as well as an organized listing of hyperlinks to other relevant sites. The focus is on resources that offer the layman clear advice and information as free from technical jargon as possible.
Government and non-profit web pages predominate among the linked sites, though commercial sites are included when they contain particularly unique and helpful information or access to products.
To make the information more accessible, the Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.) page offers explanations of the more complex terminology and concepts. We strive to provide the average consumer with an easily understandable source to make educated decisions to protect the environment today and to sustain it into the future. When the ideas seem a little overwhelming, our F.A.Q page breaks down some of the common terms and concepts. If you don't find the answers you are looking for here, please send us an email and we will do our best to improve this site. To find out more about the designers of this site, click here.
