Why do our shopping partners include both eco-friendly and non-eco-friendly stores? This is a great question - why on earth would we include in our list of affiliate ecommerce sites companies that are not entirely eco-friendly or may even use sweat shops to produce their products? The answer is two fold: We want our members to visit their sites! Why? Because when Green Thumbs-Up users visit those sites they'll see a Yellow or Red icon to let them know the poor social and/or environmental policies the company has. If they weren't in our list, most folks would probably never know. We hope the icons will educate our members so they can make an informed decision whether or not to shop there. Sometimes, for whatever reason, some of our members are still going to shop at those companies. If they're going to do it, they might as well at least generate some donations to help heal the Earth. Thanks for caring!
