Is Your Product’s Packaging Telling Lies?

When it comes to buying products for the home, are you allowing packaging to lie to you a little?

It’s so easy to do, and some manufacturers count on it. They know you’re busy, and with good intentions may pick up a product just because it has “eco” in the name. But is it really good for you or the earth?

Reading the ingredients (and warnings) on the back is the first step. If the product is actually green, you should be allowed to know what’s inside. And you don’t need more packaging than necessary — recycled or not.

Treehugger has a post up about how easy it is for packaging to deceive us. Check it out at Greenwashed Packaging Cartoon Says It All.
