Read on and make use

I wanted to mention a few interesting websites: 

The Good Guide website, http://www.goodguide.com/, scientifically rates a vast range of every day products according to established health, society and environment criteria. You can filter products with the help of these categories depending on what you care most about, search by product or simply look at the best and worst products in each category. The down turn is that it is for the US market so if you do not live in the USA it might not have products you use.    

The Outdoor Industry Association has an Eco-Index, http://www.outdoorindustry.org/gov.csr.ecoindex.html, that "is a ground-breaking environmental assessment tool designed to advance sustainability practices within the outdoor industry." I think that is a great idea because companies that make their money thanks to the 'great outdoors' ought to protect exactly those spaces. All other companies should do that to but as always  somebody needs to make a start ...   
The Energy Bulletin, http://www.energybulletin.net/, is a website I stumbled upon accidentally but it's just bursting with great articles. If only I had more time to read.
