Think you’re saving the planet by being a careful consumer? Think again. Ninety-nine percent of products labeled “green” – as in environmentally friendly – do not live up to that title. That’s according to a recent study done by TerraChoice Environmental Marketing. Products labeled “all natural,” “CFC-free,” “organic,” or “made from recycled materials” may not be as earth-friendly as their manufacturers would like you to believe.
So don’t automatically choose that more-expensive-but-worth-it product. Do your research, read the entire label, and determine for yourself how “green” it really is.
