GoodGuide.com is the brain child of Dara O'Rourke, a Professor of Environmental and Labor Policy at UC Berkeley who has assembled a "world-class team of scientists, consumer researchers, technologists and industry professionals" to help us figure out what's in all our stuff and where it comes from.
From the "About Us" page:
* What chemicals are in your baby shampoo?
* Was sweatshop labor used to make your t-shirt?
* What products are the best, and what products should you avoid?
Increasingly, you want to know about the impacts of the products you buy. On your health. On the environment. On society. But unless you’ve got a Ph.D, it is almost impossible to find out the impacts of the products you buy. Until now...
GoodGuide provides the world's largest and most reliable source of information on the health, environmental, and social impacts of the products in your home.
I know, RIGHT???
The site is still in beta, so they don't have a ton of products or categories yet. Which means I can get in on the ground floor with suggestions. Think I'll start with the hair dryer/curling iron.
