We all shop and live in a capitalistic society. That being said, more so than ever consumers are given the option to buy “green”, but what does that really mean? Cage free eggs do not necessarily mean chickens roam wild on hundreds of acres, but instead have an inch or so more room to move in their pen. And “organic”? How are we really sure what we buy is truly organic? Is a USDA “organic” label enough? For the conscientious consumer, all of these questions plague our minds but there is hope in the form of Good Guide: http://www.goodguide.com/. This ever-updated database is a wealth of information for people looking to make the greenest bang for their buck. The ratings are based on health, environmental and social performance http://www.goodguide.com/about/ratings.
