Everyone is a different shade of Green and that’s okay! Few of us can be perfect. If you have made the merest beginning on the Green path, you may consider yourself to be a beautiful pale green, however, if you are powering your car with grease from your local diner, you are probably are dark greenie. It doesn’t matter, as long as there’s a tinge! I consider myself to be somewhere in the middle – a bright apple green.

I get thousands of questions daily about how I rate all kinds of different products. To make this super-easy for you, we’ve created a simple ratings system. These hearts will be placed next to products, recipes, destinations, clothing, etc. to show you just how green they are whether they are light, bright, or crunchy – they are all in the green rainbow and good.
