If you're like me, you've wondered about the safety of the products you use (shampoo, soap, lotions and cleaning supplies). You've likely done some research too and found out how difficult it is to get information on a product and the company that makes it in order to make a truly informed decision. Luckily, have discovered the Good Guide. It's currently in beta testing, but has already rated over 65,000 products, including personal care and household chemical products. They use 600 criteria related to health hazards, environmental performance, and social issues. The site is very easy to use: you can search or browse through the products, make a shopping list, and send the list to your cellphone! This will make your shopping trip a socially-responsible breeze. To stay up to date and involved, you should subscribe to the GoodGuide Blog. You'll gets news about products, companies, and practical ways to sort through the huge amount of infomation about socially responsible business practices.
"GoodGuide strives to provide the world's largest and most reliable source of information on the health, environmental, and social impacts of products and companies. GoodGuide's mission is to help you find safe, healthy, and green products that are better for you and the planet."
OMG,
I love, love, love the Good Guide and I'm thrilled you're promoting it.
It was a fantastic resource when I was shopping for eco-friendly Christmas gifts for my kids.
Keep up the good work!
