How We Rate Products
At ThisIsGreen.com, we provide information on the product’s purpose and function,
specifications and sizing, what factors make the product eco-friendly, where you
can buy the product and current retail value, with accompanying photographs and
videos. We want visitors to our site to have access to all necessary information
to make informed choices.
The products on This Is Green are eco-friendly products that fulfill at least one
if not more of our five eco-actions of Conserving Energy, Conserving Water, Reducing
Waste/Recycles, Lowering Toxicity, and Decreasing carbon footprint. Green products
also can have certifications and recognition from approval bodies such as the United
States Green Building Council, Energy Star, Environmental Choice, Environmental
Protection Agency, Green Seal, and European Eco Label.
Where We Get Our Products
Our reviewers work as journalists providing you in-depth, no-holds-barred reviews
of the products in order to communicate these results to our readers. We do not
accept free or unsolicited products and typically we receive them on loan for the
purpose of review. Once our review is completed, we return the products to the manufacturer
promptly. If there is a product not available for loan, we make a responsible purchase
and offset our carbon footprint in the process.
