Levi Novey: If 98% of "Green" Products Greenwash – Which are the 2% that Don’t?
Last night, I was intrigued to read news about a study that had found that 98% of “green” products on the shelves of American supermarkets made false claims.

Who are the leaders of today that should be put on a pedestal and rewarded with my purchasing dollars?
It turns out that the company that conducted the study, TerraChoice, has not cared to share this information with us. I dug through the “2009 Greenwashing Report” available on their website.
