Some info from the above websites: 


The vast majority of conventional products we buy, use and wear every day are manufactured in an unsustainable way. And, as it turns out, what is bad for the Planet is bad for us, too. We are exposing ourselves and our children to harmful Synthetic Chemicals in everything from cleaning products and personal care products to the chemicals used in manufacturing things like clothing, Bedding, Furniture, work bags, children's Toys and lunch boxes. There is, however, an eco-friendly alternative for just about everything!


Organic farming builds the health of soils, ecosystems, animals and people, producing foods higher in essential nutrients. It minimizes dietary and environmental exposure to toxic synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).


Fair Trade aims to help producers in developing countries receive fair wages and move toward economic self sufficiency and stability, while also promoting socially and environmentally responsible practices to enhance quality of life.


Eco-friendly is a growing understanding that producing goods and services with minimal impact on the environment is good for you, good for your community, and good for the planet.

For the company’s requirements for paper from virgin sources, preference will be given to supplies delivered through the Forest ...

Industry moves to sustainable palm oil

By Warren Beaumont There is global concern over palm oil being sourced from Indonesia and South East Asia where tropical forests have been cleared to make way for plantations, which have threatened the orangutan. This has led to major food retailers and suppliers to introduce plans to source sustainable palm oil or to ban palm oil in food. Nestle announced it had stopped sourcing palm oil from the Indonesian company Sinar Mas and was moving to meet high standards for sustainability. Unilever suspended purchases of palm oil from PT SMART, part of the Sinar Mas group. It followed allegations by Greenpeace that Sinar Mas, Indonesia’s biggest palm oil producer, had been responsible for widespread deforestation and peatland clearance. French supermarket giant Casino has announced that it will no longer use palm oil in 200 of its private label products by the end of 2010 and will eventually remove palm oil from all its food products, citing concerns over palm oil’s environmental impact and h...
