Written by Katie on April 22, 2013. Permalink
Environmental responsibility isn't always that easy, especially when it comes to researching which products are really 'green' and which ones are just green-washed. So, that's where the GoodGuide comes in. It's an excellent resource to cut through the crap- it gives you information on the health, environmental and social performance of over a hundred thousand products with easy to read scores that will make your purchasing decisions quick and easy. Search their website or scan barcodes with the GoodGuide app, either way, you'll be adequately informed.
