Meagan, hope you've had a joyous Fourth. On background --i.e. for attribution to U.S. EPA, please:
RESPONSE:
We believe the Federal Trade Commission's Green Guides can answer the vast majority of your questions. For more information: https://www.epa.gov/greenerproducts/introduction-ecolabels-and-standards-greener-products
Response to Questions 7 and 8:
500 manufacturers use the Safer Choice label on approximately 2,000 products that include all-purpose cleaners, laundry detergents, and drain-line maintainers (see the list: https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice/products.)
Background: To qualify for the Safer Choice label, manufacturers may only use chemicals that meet the Safer Choice safer chemical criteria. These criteria are pass-fail thresholds for a broad range o f human health and environmental endpoints, based in large part on EPA 's TSCA New Chemicals Program methodologies. The criteria apply to all product ingredients-- there's no de minimis-- including all proprietary supplier ingredients and subcomponents (e.g., ingredient preservatives). To bear the Safer Choice label, products must also meet Safer Choice whole-product criteria for the product's combined wet-chemical content, and for ingredient communication, packaging and performance. Safer Choice developed its Standard and safer-chemical criteria through a multi stakeholder, notice and comment standard-setting process. Afore information about the program: https: / / www.epa.gov/saferchoice

Hi Ernesta, I hope you had a great weekend! No rush on the responses, but I was wondering if you knew when they might come in. I am planning my work for the rest of the week so am happy to work around your schedule!

Yes, thank you so much for getting back to me. See my questions below. Hard deadline is Thursday of next week, but earlier would always be awesome. But definitely would need the questions by Thursday AM next week. Thank you very much!
1. For those not in the know, how can you best describe greenwashing?
2. Why might companies participate in greenwashing? What is the benefit to the company?
3. Can greenwashing also be negative for a company? How so? Can it be negative for a consumer?
4. What are the Seven Sins of greenwashing?
5. What are the signs of greenwashing, so that a consumer can know what to look for?
6. How can someone get involved against greenwashing?
7. Where can consumers go to find eco-friendly alternatives to products that they might already be using? Any specific companies you can recommend?
8. Are there any practical tips for people to start incorporating more eco-friendly practices into their every day lives?

Thanks for reaching out with your inquiry below. I'll get this started for my colleague, Robert Daguillard.
Can we please send along more specific questions and firm deadline?
Thanks, Enesta

I am reaching out because I'm writing an article for HealthyWay.com about greenwashing. I'm looking to speak with experts in greenwashing, environmentalists, people who are fighting

for/against it, and perhaps a list of companies that do not participate in greenwashing. If there is any way you can point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.
