Sustainable Product Directories and Guides

Sustainable Product Directories and Guides

 

 

 

Good Guide - Eco-reviews of over 120,000 household products in 500 categories, pre-vetted via Good Guide’s very easy benchmarking system. Available online or on your phone. It’s the best new change-the-world-app ever!  GoodGuide is partnering with Eco-bonus which will give bonus points/coupons for buying green so that you want to keep you buying green. That “I can’t afford it” complaint is no longer valid. We can have a better world at coupon prices!

Download the App and take it on a test drive. Let your kids scan the barcodes and see which products are the greenest.

EcoMetrics is an offshoot of the EcoTextiles a news group dedicated to changing the clothing industry from the inside out. Their EcoMetrics Tools serve both business and households as a first cut improvement identifier.  You can’t improve what you can’t acknowledge and these tools help you see where to get started.
Because the textile industry is a massive undertaking in itself, it stands alone from Good Guide or Green Building Pages.

 

Green Building Pages – Contains hundreds of building products for your home or business construction. GBP also uses a benchmarking system, only it is focused on building materials and products. It breaks information into typical Life Cycle Assessment categories.

 

 

Both benchmarking systems are evolving as people request more information and both provide a virtual room full of peer pressure. Keep buying whatever is at the top of any sustainable product rating system and you’ll naturally move the market higher. Business loves to compete!
