        Consumer Reports: Greener Choices

Today's site, a non-subscription service from Consumers Union, publisher of
the respected Consumer Reports magazine, offers independent information
with an emphasis on rating products for environmentally benign qualities.
Gentle Subscribers, concerned about choosing products with an ecologically
"green" orientation, will find this a useful reference.

"More and more, consumers are making environmentally friendly choices in
the purchases that they make. ... Consumers Union expanded upon its
longstanding, public-service commitment to consumers by launching
GreenerChoices.org, a free guide that offers reliable and practical advice
on how to be a more environmentally-friendly consumer." - from the website

The site provides general environmental material on the hot issues of
climate, waste, household energy and toxicity in relation to consumer goods
and practices. Specific product evaluations in various categories, such as
autos, appliances, house and garden, electronics, and food, are displayed
under the "Green Ratings" heading. Additional features include energy
calculators, rebate information and a link to a critical appraisal of
ethanol blended gasoline in Consumer Reports' Weblog.

issues with a "green" focus at:
