I don't know how useful this information is. The right wingers will laugh at those trying to be eco-friendly and call them gullible suckers. The people trying to do their best to be eco-friendly will lose faith and figure it's too hard to do the right thing and stop trying to do anything at all.

I think the article and the comments at the end suggest that there really needs to be some kind of government watchdog given that industry has proven that it can't watch itself. They will lie, obfuscate, and mislead consumers in any attempt to make a profit.
