Changing the World One Purchase at a Time

Ever wondered how environmentally, economically or even humanity-conscious your favorite products are? As conscious consumers, we have the responsibility to educate ourselves about these impacts before making our purchases. Well, a new website, BuyItLikeYouMeanIt.org, helps you do just that.

BILYMI lets people review everyday products and companies, and then publishes a core based on which of the factors matter to you as an individual – how green they are, how well they treat their employee, or even if they have a history of deplorable practices such as the use of child labor. Their goal is to give consumers some background on the where they’re getting their products from, and hopefully aid them in making informed purchases. Currently, their first focus research focus is the Chocolate industry. Seeing as there are so many companies nowadays claiming their products to be "green" go ahead and check them out -- just to make sure.
