Way too many people are trying to cash in on the soaring demand for GREEN PRODUCTS. 300 companies now "certify" them. Many of these are bogus.

Here are a few that are not.

CONSUMER REPORTS
Not just for green products, simply the best resource for any consumer on any product. CR should always be the frists top.

GREENSEAL
An independent, non-profit organization
looking at a variety
of consumer products.

SCIENTIFIC CERTIFICATION SYSTEMS
All too sadly, the food we eat is tainted. The folks here work on food sustainabiltity and food purity issues.

ECOLOGO
Ecologo certifies products in over 120 categories.
An excellent resource.

GREENGUARD
You have heard about 'sick' buildings, this group certifies indoor air standards & products, not only for commercial properties but for homes as well.

ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS
We all have our computers, printers and tons of peripherals. This site checks out electronic products & evaluates them for environmental attributes

BPI WORLD
How long can humanity keep filling up holes with trash? BPI looks at products that quickly compost without any nasty residues.

RESILIENT FLOOR
Tester of flooring for such things as VOC, Volatile Organic Compounds, nasty stuff mucking up indoor environments. This is a trade organization, not an independent tester
