Call me cynical, but I see it as a corporate attempt to create the impression that we can shop our way to a better world. It also allows corporations to put forth an image that they are doing their part, and we as consumers must do our part by purchasing their products. The majority of it is nonsense. It is just consumerism repackaged (literally). http://soundbounder.blogspot.com/ I think it is important to not get caught up in a lot of the “green shopping” hype also.
