NH’s Timberland Company rates carbon impact of products

-- brucebc -- 09/11/2007

Today's Boston Globe features a story on New Hampshire's Timberland Company and how they're adding labels to their shoe that explain the carbon impact of creating the product.  Apparently they're at the forefront of this new wave of marketing in the US.  Similarly, the Granite State's Stoneyfield Farms has initiated an effort to rate corporations' climate impacts.  Their web site is http://www.climatecounts.org/.  

These efforts help illustrate exactly how strong the desire for real change is in New Hampshire.
