Consumer Choice - Environmental Choice Program
The Environmental Choice Program, Environment Canada's ecolabelling program, was created in 1988 to provide a market incentive to manufacturers and suppliers of environmentally preferable products and services. The program EcoLogoM symbol helps consumers identify products and services that are less harmful to the environment. The goal of the program is to encourage the supply of products and services that are more environmentally responsible and to help organisations and consumers buy "green."
The website allows you to search by product, company or category so that you can make the most environmentally friendly choices. The following are some of the categories of products and services that have received certification: appliances, automotive products, cleaning products, electricity, office products, paints, hotel accommodations, and paper and plastic products.
Make sure to look for the EcoLogoM symbol when you are purchasing products or services. You can also influence others in your community and your workplace to purchase with the environment in mind. If you are a business or manufacturer and would like to have your product or service certified with the EcoLogoM symbol, consult the website for further information.
