A few months back, I met some nice ladies from the Clean and Green Foundation who were nice enough to tell me that, contrary to popular belief of our country's backwardness, there is a group of dedicated individuals composed of both the public and private sector which reviews locally available products for environmental risks assessment.The Ecolabeling Programme awards the Green Choice Philippines label to products that meet their criteria for being environmentally sound. As the ladies told me, so far there have been only 5 products that have been labelled Green Choice Philippines, but I only remember 3: Surf, Tide and Portland Cement (yes, cement). So please, if you see the logo up there, patronize it! Buy it! Spread the Good News!
You can visit the Green Choice Philippines website for more details about the Ecolabeling Programme. Unfortunately, their gallery for products labeled Green Choice is still not updated and is in fact empty. But I've already seen the GCP logo on Tide and Surf products in supermarkets, so hooray!
