Are we seeing too much Green? June 25th 2007 An article in The New York Times asks us to think critically about the current "Green" Madness we are seeing in retail. We all want to be consciencous consumers, but deciding what is truly environmentally friendly is getting tough. The article centers around Mega Retailer of all things domestic, Home Depot. The mega chain offers over 60,000 "green" products, not just compact flourescent lightbulbs. Consumer beware! Some of these products may be jumping on the increasingly crowded eco-bandwagon. Just because a product is packaged in recycled cardboard, may not mean it is kind to the earth.
