FREE SUBSCRIPTION TO GREEN SEAL'S "CHOOSE GREEN REPORTS"

Thanks to a grant from EPA, Green Seal is offering a free subscription to
its "Choose Green Reports".  Each "Choose Green Report" discusses the
environmental impacts of categories like paints, cleaners, carpets, office
supplies, and luminaries; gives environmental criteria with rationales for
them; surveys manufacturers; and, based on the manufacturers' responses,
recommends products that meet the criteria.  The Reports include contact
information for manufacturers.  They are the country's only source of
life-cycle recommendations of environmentally responsible manufactured
products. They make it easier to purchase environmentally preferable
products, and if it's easier, it's more apt to happen.

You can sign up at http://www:greenseal.org/cgrs  for these objective, peer
reviewed recommendations of environmentally responsible products. Signing up
incurs no obligation and provides electronic notification when a Report is
placed on the subscription website.
