Home Depot Sees Green

This article in the NYTimes discussed how Home Depot is starting to add labels to enviro friendly products in its' stores.

Initially this will have 3000 items tagged as being somewhat green and the goal is to have 6000 items tagged by 2009.

"The company said it had asked suppliers to produce Eco Option goods at the same prices as conventional merchandise. But it acknowledged that some products would be more expensive at the cash register, even if consumers are likely to save money over time — as in the case of the energy-efficient light bulbs."

This is encouraging, as HD is the second largest retailer, perhaps their power can be translated into making green options price competitive.
