    I don't watch TV, but I read most about new environmentally friendly products online - either news articles, reviews or blogs, mostly. I'd say the second place I see new EF products would be in magazines - I subscribe to GOOD, Washingtonian and Traditional Home.

    TV is typically the main way that I find out about new "green" products. But it makes me wonder how really "green" they are and how much is just hype to join the "green" bandwagon. Call me skeptical but it wouldn't be the first time a company was somewhat deceiving in advertising.

    When I read about a new green product in the paper or online, I still check out additional sources to make sure that the manufacturer is fully environmentally friendly without their just using the one product advertised as a gimmick or to pay lip service to a "green trend."

    I don't watch commercials on tv. I either change the channel or get up and toss in a load of laundry, or look for a snack. I do pay attention to the new products I see while shopping.

    I find the most useful information in magazines to find new products that others have tried and like. Magazines also offer coupons to try new products.

    I have been a lot more environmentally conscious this year. My parents never recycled, since moving out and having a child of my own, I have found it really important to recycle and bring my son up thinkin the same thing. This is our home and we have to keep it beautiful and safe! I compare this thought to when I was in the Smokey Mountains last year and people would carve their names into wood at the taverns or at the look offs in the mountains, that is natures beauty and people just destroy it, I HATE THAT! You should do your part too!
