Not sure if it’s green? Check online list first?
Sorry for the long silence, we have been very busy for the past 2 months!
Just saw this article on AsiaOne web site:
THOSE seeking to buy energy- and cost-saving home appliances, such as refrigerators and washing machines, will be able to check if the products are on a “green” list that will be posted online.
Special materials, such as different types of glass and walls that are green, will also be included in the list, making it easier for construction-industry players to develop environmentally-friendly buildings.
The list, which is expected to be ready in a year, is the first project of the Singapore Green Building Council.
Wait a minute, don’t we already have such a list?
In fact, the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) already has a list of eco-products for many years. On their list of Green Label-approved products, Star Bamboo has been listed since 2006.
So if you are into eco-purchasing, go check out the SEC web site now.
p.s. our next post will be about the latest exciting avenue for eco-purchases, look out for it!
