Green consumer habits at the Hotel Gavarni in Paris

September 2nd, 2008 by admin

In France, households account for 50% of CO² emissions. By making careful decisions about what we consume, we can all act responsibly to care for the environment without completely disrupting our lifestyles and levels of comfort.

This is made possible thanks to certified products which guarantee both effectiveness and the certainty of doing something worthwhile for the environment: eco-products. Getting to know these products is a matter of spotting the appropriate environmental logos:

The European Ecolabel  or “the flower”.Green label of all countries members of the European Union.

European Union Européenne and Biological Agriculture. Certifying label that proves that products are coming from biological agriculture on european ground.

NF Environement.
Official green french certificate.

Label AB: Organic Farming, the Ministry of Agriculture’s brand.

Today, eco-labels cover a vast range of everyday consumer products including cosmetics, washing powders, lighting and even furniture and clothes, so you can act on an everyday level to help save the planet. By choosing eco-certified products, you too can do something for the environment and take care of your health – the less we use chemical products, pesticides and fertiliser, the better we’ll feel.

It’s not always that easy to know how to put into practice our sense of responsibility for what happens to our planet. Buying whatever comes to hand without considering the impact of this or that product on the environment is too easy an option. This portal helps by providing a search engine and news on its blog.

Greenzer’s blog draws readers’ attention to some of the more innovative products, discusses ecological issues in general and gives plenty of hints and tips: it’s a real mine of information!
