I’m doing research for a magazine article on going ‘green’. How does using green products help our planet?

it isn’t the idea of using green products, they use “green” to symbolize nature such as the tree’s green leaves.
a product doesn’t need to be green in color in order to be “green” and protect the environment.
Generally it means that the ingredients in the product are all natural and not chemicals that could harm plants, trees, animals, etc. if they were to be exposed to them. For instance many products contain chemicals that if you were to drink water that had the chemicals in it you would become very sick and maybe even die. A “green” version of this product would not contain these types of chemicals.
because when you wipe the makeup off your face, it ends up either in a landfill or in a body of water; if the product was nongreen it would just sit in the landfill for an unaccountable amount of time, but if it was green it would naturally decompose and dispose of itself.
Green – how?
A manufacturer that uses only natural ingredients?
One who uses only organic ingredients?
A company that uses only locally sourced ingredients?
Maybe it is more green to use ingredients that have been syntheised in a test tube rather than use unsustainable products.
What does ‘green’ really mean? How many ways can a simple notion be interpreted?
Using green products can mean a variety of things. Most commonly, it means they have less chemicals that can pollute our environment, or are packed in plants that use low amounts of energy, and perhaps the packages themselves are made from recycled materials or are recyclable themselves. Perhaps the products are made locally, which cuts down on transportation costs and CO2 emmisions. “Green” can mean many things.
