"However, we realized we had the opportunity to take it a step further by allowing consumers to take action. YouChange enables readers to use their purchasing power to drive the demand for sustainable and ethical products."
Each product currently available in the YouChange marketplace was vetted by the Earth911 team and many are also reviewed by a third-party organization, such as Green Seal or Good Housekeeping. Each product''s eco-friendly characteristics, such as toxic free, cruelty free, certified organic, and vegan, is clearly marked in the product description, giving consumers the ability to find products that fit their needs and lifestyle. The marketplace features green products from both large and small suppliers, including handcrafted goods.
YouChange encourages and relies heavily on consumer interaction to rate products and share recommendations within the Earth911 community. If a product is found to fall short of the marketplace''s standards, Earth911 will suspend the product until the necessary changes are made.
Since its inception, Earth911 has been dedicated to affecting change. YouChange is the next phase of Earth911''s evolution, enabling consumers to send clear market signals and drive more companies to consider sustainability in product formulations, packaging, and retail strategies.
