Big Green: Carbon Footprint Calculator for Product Development and Sales

[Monica Marsicek]

Hi Curt,

Here¹s a couple sites that will help you market your product as green:

http://www.greenbuildingpages.com
http://www.rateitgreen.com

I can¹t find a carbon calculator on greenbuildingpages.com and
rateitgreen.com won¹t have one, but like I said, they¹re great for
transparent green marketing.  Whenever they get it up and running,
<http://www.pharosproject.net> will be a fantastic resource too.

As for calculating carbon footprints, you can probably find a consultant who
can do that, or start with an organization like
<http://www.scscertified.com/ecoproducts/epd/index.html>.  Hope those help!

Thanks,

Monica Marsicek
