Great resources



Just wanted to tell you where I looked at and found some great sites. The Going Green movement has focused on local goods has made it so many businesses are still selling products. The USA laws have defined that made in the USA label has to be more then 50 % of the product made in the USA to be labeled. USA law also has mandated that manufacturers tell where it is made or in some different sectors who produced the product. Here is where I started: http://www.madeinusa.org/, http://www.greenpeople.org/, http://www.milehighorganics.com/, http://www.amazon.com/, http://www.overstock.com/, target and Costco.

madeinusa.org: A non -profit dedicated to made in the USA products. Has a great search engine on many different products, look at the recent later pages because some times the companies have gone out of business or changed to a cheaper manufacturer. I found out through them that Lucky Jeans are made in the USA and New Balance.

greenpeople.org: Not to be confused with green people skin products in the UK, has many great resources on organic products. Type in made in the USA and there is alot of info, of course you are going to have to search it.

milehighorganics: Is a food delivery to your door in Colorado, I love that they tell you the city and state where the food is grown.

amazon.com: Love the biggest online shopping resources that has recently bought out diaper.com so they have great deals for moms as you sign up on their amazon mom. To find made in USA products type it in the search bar more then 200,000 things come up.

overstock.com: Type in made in USA and you will find many products, plus you will recognize that many brands have only a few items that were made in the USA.

Target: Go to the organic section and when looking remember that tropical fruits such as bananas and pineapples are not produced in the USA and look at the labels.

Costco: Is fabulous for USA made products especially here in Colorado.
