Call it the tagline for living in the modern age. The idea of adopting a greener, more environmentally conscious lifestyle has gone mainstream. Big name manufacturers are rolling out green lines of everything from bathroom cleaners to SUVs and business are touting their earth-friendly practices, as real estate agencies flaunt their carbon neutral status and developers increasingly tack the word “green” onto the press releases for their latest communities.
 


With the swelling of this green wave comes healthy consumer skepticism. It can be hard to tell what is truly green, nevermind what the impact of embracing this environmentally sensitive lifestyle really is. Halogen Guides Greener exists to offer smart, comprehensive examinations of products, companies and green practices; all the information you need to cut through the hype and make practical decisions about greening your life.
