    * http://www.responsibleshopper.org/ A project run by [http://www.coopamerica.org Co-op America] that has very convergent goal with us and they actually have a DB online with 350 big companies investigated. '''Truely worth a visit.'''

    * [http://now.ohah.net/en/Earth_Reforesting_System "Earth Reforesting System"] - not sure if this is going to work, but, at least they started with mediawiki, so maybe they are just waiting for others to chip in, just like Consumerium did.

Scan a product: if you get a [[green light]], it is ok to buy. Red is bad. What they don't yet realize is that building a specific access device without a database and information infrastructure.
