Green Certifications are blooming like the flowers!  We will be taking the next couple of weeks to mention the green certifications, especially for products, that we find the most useful and accurate.  The second is Green Seal Certification.

Green Seal is a non-profit organization that uses science-based programs to help consumers, purchasers and companies to make more informed decisions on material purchases, creating a more sustainable world by promoting a sustainable economy.  Green Seal was formed in 1989 when there were no other environmental certification programs in the US.  Green Seal's reputation has been built on their environmental leadership, adherence to scientific testing and consistency.  Green Seal's material standards are referenced in many other green building programs, including LEED.  Green Seal has developed many standards for green products and services such as household cleaning products, paints and coatings, construction mateirals and equipment,  printing and writing paper and institutional cleaning products.  Find Green Seal-compliant products and services by using their searchable data base on the Green Seal website.
