Welcome back!
Today is Black Friday, the beginning of the holiday shopping season. For some, it is the best time to shop for gifts. Not a bad idea at all. But it’s also best if you start giving eco-friendly presents. You’re not only saving money, you’re also helping preserve the environment.

How long before polar bears only exist in the zoo?

More and more of us value organic products or green products. We will choose them over other products whenever we can. But of course the manufacturers have caught on to this and they are now trying to trick us into thinking that their product is organic or green while it is not.

In ONEgourps latest organic newsletter they talk about green washing. The act of misleading consumers regarding the environmental practices of a company or the environmental benefits of a product or service.
