Thanks for the comment! I normally don’t write about products that don’t make the grade. I might be slightly unique, but I write a lot of reviews on products I’ve purchased (not been sent to try by companies) and I spend a lot of time researching before shopping. When I talk about ‘big box’ stores and their products that let us down time and again with their safety standards with household products and toys – I would say all the big department stores and chains that have been around for more than 5 years are the culprits. Every chance I get I will write about a small business that has superior product knowledge about what they are selling after realizing that 95% of the stores in my local mall don’t have any knowledge about what materials or footprint they’ve travelled before hitting the store shelves. It isn’t comforting to know that I always know more than the store’s mgr…so if I’m highlighting a company or product I usually focus on positive experiences. Thanks for your comments Anne – I appreciate them and will incorporate in the New Year!

I look forward to reading more of your reviews in 2010. However although I understand you not wanting to support bad company’s I would love it if you occasionally printed a bad review of a “green” product that you tried. It might be nice to know the not so great along with the awsome products that you get to try. You have a wonderful benefit, and you could be keeping money in the pocket’s of your readers.
Thanks for all your hard work of keeping us informed.
