Find Green Products Easily With This Resource

I believe that most of us are well-intentioned about choosing products that are eco-friendly both for our own health and that of the planet, but simply don’t know what products to use or where to find them. Here is a resource book to the rescue - it covers sustainable choices for green building products and furnishings and more. Who knew where to find natural window treatments made of wild crafted grasses and reeds that are baked to achieve beautiful hues of greens and browns?

I have already come to rely on this book, and I am very discriminating about the eco-friendly resources I will trust! Check it out:

The types of product recommendations in this book range from general renovating and decorating materials, such as paints, plastic lumber, playground equipment and upholstery fabrics, to heavy-duty building supplies such as for roofs and basements.

Green Building Products: The GreenSpec Guide to Residential Building Materials edited by Alex Wilson and Mark Piepkorn (New Society Publishers, 2005).

Editor Alex Wilson has been researching and writing on energy efficiency and sustainable design for over 25 years, and co-editor Mark Piepkorn has extensive experience with natural and traditional building methods.

I also know where to find some great eco friendly products. I have used them for a while and I just started selling them. I am now trying to get them to use greener packaging. Any thoughts?

Hi Sarah! I doubt that we are related but we do have the same last name. ;-) After 26 years of product testing of this line I still find it remarkable: Shaklee has zero impact on global warming by offsetting 100% of its greenhouse gas emissions. For this innovative environmental leadership, Shaklee became the nation's first Climate Neutral Certified company. Yes there is a site-www-shaklee dot net/steve
