Eco-labeling
gives the consumer information on how the product was made
and about its impact on environment. By choosing products
with eco-labels you can help to restore rivers, rainforests,
populations of birds and even dolphins. As the consumers we
can have a great influence on the producers. We can convince
companies to care more about the environment simply by buying
their products or not.

If a product
carries an eco-friendly label, it means, that this product
was manufactured with a care for the environment. During production,
water, soil or air were not polluted. Usually, the product,
or a part of it, is recyclable. The most popular eco-friendly
label [EU Flower, Blue Angel] mean that the whole life cycle
of the product, that is, from manufacture, through usage,
to disposal, is environmentally friendly. Others mean that
the product is ecological only in a certain area, for example
the "Energy star" logo means, that the product is
energy efficient. Such labels in regards to food products
confirm that the growth, fertilization and overall care for
the farmland follow the ecological regulations.
