      Ingredient of Concern
      There is currently no requirement to disclose fragrance components used in consumer products. A listing of nearly 3,000 compounds used by the fragrance industry indicates that approximately one third of the compounds are known allergens or respiratory irritants. The Food and Drug Administration has noted an increase in the incidence of adverse reactions to fragrances in consumer products among the general population, with an increase in the severity of the responses, including immune and neurological impacts. An Institute of Medicine report placed fragrances in the same category as second hand smoke for triggering asthma in school age children and above . Hollender, Jeffrey, et al.

Climate Counts: Starting

According to Climate Counts, this company is starting in the race to address climate change.

Climate Counts is a non-profit campaign that scores companies annually on the basis of their voluntary action to reverse climate change. The Climate Counts Company Scorecard helps people vote with their dollars by making climate-conscious purchasing and investing choices that put pressure on the world’s most well-known companies to take the issue of climate change seriously.

Launched by organics pioneer Stonyfield Farm, Climate Counts believes everyday consumers can be the most important activists in the fight against global warming. Climate Counts has currently evaluated 106 companies—representing over 3000 different brands—in thirteen major consumer sectors with plans to expand the number of companies and sectors soon.

Climate Counts use a 0-to-100 point scale and 22 criteria to determine if companies have:

  • Measured their climate “footprint”
  • Reduced their impact on global warming
  • Supported (or suggest intent to block) progressive climate legislation
  • Publicly disclosed their climate actions clearly and comprehensively
