GoodGuide.Com

Its about time there’s a website that helps us find safe, healthy, and green products that are better for us and our planet. After discussing about goodguide.com in class I realized how important it was to keep this website running. I feel this is the perfect tool on how to educate consumers and help us to identify with the products we buy on a daily basis. Goodguide.com is a great way to educate people about the products they consume. Before goodguide.com became available researching our cosumptions took too much time and energy as well as the question concerning on how to retrieve this information. With GoodGuide.com we can now simply search for a product and find all types of information on health risks, environmental impacts and even societal reviews based on philanthropy, customer satisfaction and other factors. Applications for the iPhone’s are now also available allowing a consumer to take a picture of a products barcode and receiving information based on that product. In my opinion this will change shopping habits as well as consumer consumptions. I’m sure many of these companies are not too happy with the fact that GoodGuide.com exists due to the fact that they do not want the public to know this information but I believe it is for the better of all people in this world. GoodGuide.com hopefully reaches out to many people on educating on what people are buying and will force companies to comply with the changes in which people desire.
