GoodGuide Review

Quick Summary
The GoodGuide is a website that provides a reliable source on information on the health, environmental, and social impacts of the products within your home. The help you to do the following:

  • Find save, healthy, and green products
  • Search and browse tons of products to figure out what is under the label
  • Read expert advice and recommendations
  • Make better purchasing decisions based on what's important to you
  • Create a favorites list
Essentially, the GG helps you to learn about a product and "greenify" your life. 

Things I Like
  • Allows you to learn about products, food, toys, household chemicals, and other stuff in ways that you cannot from the manufacturer. 
  • They have a mobile application (currently only on the iPhone).
  • Real tips on how to increase your life's environmental conscience
Things I Don't Like
  • Somewhat hard to cull through all their information. I mean we use so much stuff, its just not possible to learn about all your things. 
  • No wiki format that allows you to contribute information that you find. While this might cause problems with fact checking, it would also help to increase the information. 
  • Only iPhone mobile app.
