    Terrachoice sells the right using the EcoLogo mark for thousands for dollars, as the amount is a function of the total sales of the companies’ product sales. In the end EcoLogo and Terrachoice are killing the small “mom and pop” shops that often cannot afford to pay Terrachoice to “approve” their products, even if “mom and pop” products can be greener than others found on the market. Green eco-labels, like EcoLogo victim of marketing scams, and Terrachoice are leading the pack with their strategic marketing scare campaign (i.e. greenwashing ), to increase their revenues. Green products cost more money, because corporations increase the price of products; because they need to pay Terrachoice thousands of fraud dollars to be “green”. A Feldman

    Green product are not always green. For example, all you need to clean your house is baking soda, vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide. Green certified products contain much more that what is needed, therefore they are not really green, and therefore green certification is greenwashing. Even Ecologo products are greenwashing.
