Helpful labels when shopping

Allen believe doomsayers I firmly believe that we stand in Germany in terms of environmental and consumer protection is not so bad, most of our European Neighbors are years behind us. We find when shopping in Germany take on more and more product labels that help consumers get to a correct decision.

The best known is probably the organic seal : Although there were frequent reports of alleged or actual black sheep in the organic industry, one should not be led astray: Products Bio seal are free of pesticides and genetic manipulation, organic meat comes from humanely reared and fed animals (no factory farming, antibiotics only plant food, fish meal, etc. in the diet are taboo). Organic farms and businesses subject to strict conditions to be monitored regularly.

The Blue Angel :
This is a label that is awarded for environmentally friendly products and services. Since then I seeing to it is me constantly about the way of toilet paper, handkerchiefs, copy paper, writing pads from recycled paper to building materials and furniture to electrical appliances, the Blue Angels will be awarded in almost all areas (in this case there is a list of all products ).

The label by the Marine Stewardship Council :
is hereby awarded fish which comes from sustainable fishing a challenge to the systematic overfishing of our oceans. You can find it now, for example, on some products Iglo and Costa a step in the right direction is to be hoped that these two companies also follow suit in their remaining items.

The seal of the Forest Stewardship Council : Similar to the MSC, but just for wood instead of fish. Clear-cutting, farewell, this seal is only to products derived from sustainable timber industry. With garden furniture made of tropical hardwood (eg Bangkirai, teak, wenge) that do not have this seal, one must unfortunately conclude that it is illegal geschlagenenes wood from tropical Asian forests. IKEA, Obi, and other well-known companies are working on several projects with FSC, which is laudable, but as long as none of the furniture actually bears the label is to enjoy such a project with caution (key word "greenwashing").

The advantage of these so-labeled products is obvious: you can be sure that you have purchased a responsible manner, without burdening the environment unnecessarily.

The disadvantage lies in the often higher price-to produce sustainable is now even more expensive. That has to decide for themselves, not each can afford it.

I for my part, stated repeatedly that not only the production but also product quality is significantly better. Cheap meat from the supermarket seems to me only in exceptional situations at the plate, but I'm too excited about my Biometzger . Good quality food has just the priority for me-I want to have to worry about any cancer-causing substances, rotten meat, or genetic engineering. For me this is money well spent.

I must also sometimes with the old prejudice clean, recycled toilet paper is uncomfortable-perhaps that was once so, today it but in every supermarket, discount and drug store recycled paper, which is equal to the "normal" toilet paper in anything. Recycled paper is no more expensive than other paper products, so: no harm to try.
