Question 1

How are eco ratings calculated?

Accepted Answer

Our 1-5 leaf eco rating considers the product's environmental impact across its lifecycle: manufacturing emissions, materials sustainability, packaging, durability, end-of-life recyclability or compostability, and whether it replaces a more harmful conventional product.

Question 2

Are eco-friendly products really cheaper in the long run?

Accepted Answer

Most eco-friendly products save money over time due to their reusability and durability. A stainless steel water bottle saves $260/year, LED bulbs save $225/year, and a safety razor saves $150/year. Use our savings calculator to see your total potential savings.

Question 3

What's the easiest eco swap to start with?

Accepted Answer

Reusable grocery bags and a stainless steel water bottle are the easiest and highest-impact starting points. They require zero behavior change beyond remembering to bring them, and both pay for themselves within weeks.

Question 4

Do these products actually reduce carbon emissions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each product listing includes estimated annual CO2 reduction based on published lifecycle analysis studies. Switching your entire household to LED bulbs alone can reduce CO2 by 500 lbs per year.
