Understanding Eco-Friendly Labels

Ever wonder what those little “environmentally-friendly” logos on the back of everything from your microwave oven to your bedroom furniture really mean? Turns out, you’re not the only one. Thanks to Consumer Reports, you can now search  by the type of product, or search on specific logos, like the one above, to get the facts on all those confusing environmental labels, seals, and stamps of approval that we see on so many supposedly environmentally-friendly products. Visit the Eco-Labels Center to do your own search.

Consumer Reports also provides a very helpful article titled What Makes a Good Eco-Label to help you determine if the green living products you’re using are really all they’re hyped up to be.
