GreenMoms Member Recommended Badge Program

Absolutely everything listed on GreenMoms has been recommended by a GreenMoms Community Member and is not a recommendation from an editorial staff.       (Of course, the founders of GreenMoms are also members so we include our personal recommendations too.)  

We want to recognize and support green businesses and organizations when one of our GreenMoms Community Members recommends them, so we created this badge to be proudly displayed on their website.  Prior to sending out a badge we ensure all submissions meet our green standards:

Our Green Standards

The GreenMoms approach to helping families lead greener lives supports many levels of green.  However, there are a few things we require of all member-recommended "Green Stuff" submissions.  First we require that the product, service, or resource provide organic, fair- trade, or sustainably produced goods or information.  In general, we look to see that submitted products do not contain any harmful or toxic chemicals and that the ingredients are mostly botanically based.   In addition, we check to see that the submission is environmentally responsible.  As for Body Care Products and Cleaning Products, we look to see that they do not contain parabens, petroleum derived substances, or synthetics.  Cleaning products should also be free of phosphates, formaldehyde, and ammonia.
