Eco Structure
magazine reports that 95% of "green" labeled consumer products are guilty of making
misleading claims.  We found that a large percentage of building product claims are also misleading.  
When we ask for recycled content facts, the product representatives often don't know or they just make
an "off-the-cuff" estimate.  When asked about total embodied energy in product manufacture process or
location of raw material from which the product is made, we usually just get a blank stare!

We've always worked hard to achieve maximum feasible environmental responsibility within budget  and
time constraints and all the misinformation and/or lack of information makes it even harder.
