Green Electronics

General Information

The best selling products for the holiday season are electronics and women’s clothing. If you are buying electronics for someone I encourage you to do it consciously. What do I mean by consciously? I believe most people probably look for the best deals.  Is it possible to look for the best deal on a product that has the least harmful impact on the Earth? Greenpeace International started rating electronic companies based mainly on the toxic chemicals they use and their recycling policies. I checked out a couple of websites that claimed to be selling “green electronics” and after reading the Greenpeace article, I think they are just using the word “green” to get you to their site. Some of the products they were offering, were made by companies with the lowest green rating, according to Greenpeace. Please check out this very informative article and ranking.

Also, they have a Take Action link at the bottom of the article, if you feel compelled to make a difference.
