BuyGreen.com - Be Green, Live Green

All of the green earth products you need are available at BuyGreen.com. You will find eco friendly clothing, including bamboo clothing, green home environmental products including natural organic products and solar powered lights, just to name a few. Commercial buyers also have a wide selection of products from environmentally friendly bags for retailers to recycled paper product as examples.

Buy Green has some of the best green standards. Such as:

Our Green Standards:
each product we sell is reviewed and rated in respect to its environmental impact. The four key areas that we look at are: 1). Source Material, 2). Manufacturing, 3). Usage, and 4). Disposal. We refer to these as the product Lifecycle. In this way, each product is rated from a ‘cradle to grave’ perspective.

The Score: Additionally, we provide an overall score for each product. The score is displayed on the photo of the product, along with the four Basic Lifecycle ratings (the circles in a box above). The higher the score, the better the product’s positive impact on your life, and on the environment. The scores can range between 1, meaning fewer positive ‘Green’ attributes, and 100 having many positive attributes. The score is an easy way for you to compare products.

An important perspective to keep in mind is that if a product is on our site, it is fundamentally better for the environment than a traditional product. So whether a product scores a 92 or 32, or meets just 1, or all 4 of our Basic Lifecycles elements, it is still a better alternative.

The Green Standard sub-elements: each Basic Lifecycle Standard has sub-elements that affect the product’s score. We accumulate the assigned scores for each sub-element in each Basic Lifecycle, and if the score exceeds our minimum score for that Basic Lifecycle, than it will be displayed in color.

I really appreciate that they do the hard part for you, and you can trust them on it! There is so much greenwashing on what is natural and eco-friendly that sometimes it is just too hard and confusing to make the right choice and feel 100% about it.

I was lucky enough to try out one of their products, this beautiful soy shirt! It is 47% Soy, 47% Organic cotton and 6% spandex, it feels like silk! So unbelievably soft and feels so good against my skin, I think i wore it 3 times in the first week i had it! As just as stated above you have their green standards score next to the item! how cool!

Go take a poke around Green Buy. You can find the perfect gifts for mother’s day or father’s day, plus something for yourself!
