Goodguide.com


I found a great site called GoodGuide.com that helps out if you are trying to "Go Green".


"Going Green" is not easy... it takes a lot of work and with the economy being tight, who wants to buy foods that their children won't eat or shampoo that doesn't do what it says...without trying products, there is no way of knowing.


Now enters GoodGuide.com. Think of GoodGuide.com as that friend who knows everything about products that will help you "Go Green".


For example... Say I am looking for good organic foods to feed my daughter who is in Stage 2 of eating. I could go to the store, grab a bunch of food and play the guessing game or trial and error, but I hate to do that when every penny counts, so I go to GoodGuide.com and look in the 2nd Baby Foods section and I am given a list of healthy, safe and natural 2nd baby foods. Love it! The foods are even given a rating based on 35 product facts.


GoodGuide.com not only gives ratings on food, but they also rate products as well. You can find information on personal care items, household chemicals and even toys.



From the site:

GoodGuide is building a comprehensive source of information on the environmental, social, and health performance of products and companies. The GoodGuide team works with a network of leading academic institutions, government data sources, non-governmental organizations, and private research firms to bring world-class information to consumers.

GoodGuide's scientists have collected data from around the world on chemical ingredients, products, brands, factories, companies, industrial sectors, and even countries. We gather the highest quality data available and convert this information into ratings that can be used by non-scientists to easily evaluate products and companies.

In the future, GoodGuide will have tools to let consumers screen this data through their own personal preferences, allowing them to "filter" and search for products and companies that match their specific values.


Also, you can become a member, it's FREE, and submit your own reviews of the over 70,000 products on the site.


Another great feature...you can buy online!!
