Be an Informed Consumer

Many of you have been accessing the Office of Environmental Education's Informed Consumer pages for some time. Whether you are a longtime user of this resource or new to the idea, we are excited to let you know that the Informed Consumer pages have been given a makeover! Topics are easier to navigate and resources are easier to find. Go to http://www.eenorthcarolina.org/consumer.htm and have a look! We will continue to add information to these pages and always welcome any questions or comments you may have. The Office of Environmental Education's Informed Consumer Initiative seeks to highlight many of the issues surrounding our consumer choices. The information and resources provided are not meant to advocate for any particular choice, but rather to let folks know what choices are out there and the costs and benefits associated with them. Topics covered include: Food, Lawn & Garden, Energy, Water, Waste, House, Personal Products, Green Development, and Global Climate. Each section features resources where people can find the information they need to make informed decisions. From finding your nearest farmers market to investigating the ingredients of your shampoo...you'll find it all on our Informed Consumer pages! Be Smart. Buy Smart. Know Your Choices!
