ecolabelling.org - ecolabels and green certification schemes

ecolabelling.org - ecolabels and green certification schemes
At last a guide to the myriad of labelling that is spewing forth. In theory labelling is suppose to inform the consumer- simple and clear labels like Fairtrade, Soil Association, and No Fly are clear but frankly all the rest just confuses. The most rediculous is the NFU's Red Tractor- what the hell does that mean? Then you have half way houses like LEAF, agriculture raisonable as they call it in french- sort of using as little chemicals as possible but as much as necessary- oh yeah? Who decides what is necessary?
