Hi, Dan. It can be tricky to figure out what products are really green and which are greenwashing. Certification labels can help. I work for Natural Home magazine. We did a great article on avoiding greenwashing this past year. You might want to check it out: http://www.naturalhomemagazine.com/Health/2007-07-01/buying-green.aspx

Happy greening!
