It's not just organic either. Yesterday I got a PR about a new certification for green toys but it's through a 3rd party and I'm thinking it's just one more label to muck around with. I think we need per country; one organic label, one green label, and so on. Well, or more ethical companies and better consumer education on green products because obviously labels aren't here to help us. I totally agree. It’s not just organic either.

Most people are way too busy to do the kind of research necessary to find their way through the morass that "Certified Organic" has become. In reality, like so many government programs that should be protecting the public, this has fallen into the hands of people who should have nothing to do with it. As "Certified Organic" comes to mean less and less, consumers will begin to become frustrated with the entire idea and insist that it costs too much to buy organic. This will put the whole issue right where the biggies want it. The American people deserve to know the truth even when it hurts. This is so incredibly frustrating.
