Consumers Union has gone behind the scenes to
evaluate the credibility of
more than 50 eco-labeling programs for food and
wood products. The group's
new Web site http://www.eco-labels.org gives info
on sponsorship, conflicts
of interest, clarity, environmental significance,
and more. Possible future
additions (funding permitting) include energy,
cleaning products, cosmetics,
and eco-travel. Consumers Union: Jennifer Shecter,
