GoodGuide.com -- Health, environmental, and social impacts of various
products
Here is an interesting website:
www.goodguide.com
"GoodGuide™ strives to provide the world's largest and most reliable
source of information on the health, environmental, and social impacts
of products and companies. GoodGuide's mission is to help you find safe,
healthy, and green products that are better for you and the planet. From
our origins as a UC Berkeley research project, GoodGuide has developed
into a totally independent "For-Benefit" company. We are committed to
providing the information you need to make better decisions, and to
ultimately shifting the balance of information and power in the
marketplace."
Later this month, the San Francisco-based website will add food from
supermarkets around the globe to its existing roster of consumer safety
and carbon-footprint ratings for non-food goods. If a food product has a
barcode, GoodGuide promises to rate it, revealing what it contains in
terms of chemicals, colourings, additives and nutrition, as well as its
environmental impact.
