When Is An Item In The Store Healthy, Green Or Socially Responsible

You’re in the grocery store and have several choices you can make on an item you need. So, how can you decide which is healthier, greener or manufactured socially responsibly? Well, there’s a free app for that. It works on an android and iphone. It will give you instant information about which household products are, or are not, healthy, green or socially responsible. All you need to do is scan the barcode with your phone and you’ll see ratings on 120,000 times. To get the app, go to your app store and search for Goodguide.
