Learn about ecolabels and look for greener products at the store. Your Mission:

Mission Objective:

Ecolabels can be found on just about every product these days, like food, paper products, shampoo, and even toys and clothing. But what do they mean? How do you know which ones are really better for the planet, and which ones are not all that they seem to be? For this Mission, we’re taking a closer look at the products you buy and showing you why it’s important for them to be Certified Green.

To complete this Mission, kids will…

  • Read through the Mission Brief to learn about different ecolabels.
  • Do a Certified Green Check of the products they have at home. 
  • Make their own ecolabel guide or use the one in the Mission Items to help them decide which products to buy.
