Tag—you’re green
Here at TOH, we’re all about the green…the environmentally friendly green, that is.
That’s why I find it so cool that Home Depot has made it easier for people to pick from over 2,500 products that are energy efficient or otherwise eco-conscious with a new label. To be branded with the green Eco-Options stickers, items must meet government standards, such as those for Energy Star or FSC-certified status. If such guides aren’t available, the products pass third-party testing based on Home Depot’s own environmental performance criteria in one of five categories: sustainable forestry, energy efficiency, healthy home, clean air, and water conservation.
Personally, I’m hoping to find a portable air conditioner tagged with one of those nifty stickers before the heat waves start.

What isn't so cool is that Home Depot no longer stocks many of the organic products that they've had in previous years. Since they've been running a 'gee aren't we green" campaign recently this seems a little bizarre.
