Eco-Friendly:

Synonymous with ‘environmentally friendly’, ‘eco-friendly’ refers to goods and services that are thought to impose negligible damage to nature and our environment. Beware of labels, because there is no international standard for ‘eco-labels’ –even though a product is touted as ‘eco friendly’, that might not mean a lot. So ask for details! Consider the overall impact: energy consumed; chemical use; waste; fair wages; non-renewability; animal testing.
