Basicallly I am starting a green goods store because I try to buy everything I can that is eco friendly, and I have found that a majority of it is crap that Ii end up having to pitch anyway, and almost all of it is overpricced for what you get bbecause it has the "green" label on it. Obviously I am in it to make some money, but I am primarily in it to help others to be more environmentallly friendly, be confident in the quality they will recieve, and know that each product was researched for the validity of their "green claims".
What do you all think?

I believe that products that create the biggest impacts will be products you use frequently.
Some examples would be:
Eco-Friendly Household Cleaners
Reusable Bags
Efficient Lighting
Recycling Products
Items like solar phone chargers and wind energy radios for the most part seem to just cash in on the "green" label and either don’t function correctly, are too costly, or just useless.
I am willing to pay more for an eco-friendly product if it is well made and if I’m sure that it really is a greener alternative.
umm i like bags and tshirts and makeup but i really dont like the extra cost
I have more green practices than I do green "products". I reuse and repurpose almost everything and I don’t use throwaway products unless health is involved (i.e. I use Kleenex instead of a handkerchief). I did buy some reuseable shopping bags but I also use the existing tote bags I had for that purpose.
We also recycle everything we can. I used to compost kitchen waste using any old garbage can that I aerated and rotated to turn it. I can’t have a garden now but I buy local when it’s available. I prefer unbleached paper products but they’re super hard to find so I try to use as few paper towels etc. as I can.
I even drive the car as little as possible and have stopped buying books and dvds & am a big user of the library for those things. I only buy clothing basics and buy vintage and repurpose or restyle the items when necessary.
I would LOVE to have an electric car but am waiting until they come out with one with a wider mileage range for low cost. Same thing for solar panels. When they come up with a reasonably priced product for the homeowner, I’ll be there in a heartbeat.
Like you, I have learned to believe none of the hype for any product or process until I research it on the internet.
