I read through the Green Guide and, for the most part, a lot of what is printed in it can be very useful to the public, just simply to keep in mind when purchasing items in stores. More of the regulation focus needs to target companies who are misleading the public. A good starting point is to change the name of the Green Guide to the Green Laws. This is a must. One cannot enforce a guideline as well as one could a law. Furthermore, the act of being in violation of a guideline as opposed to being in violation of a law, well, get the picture? Set clear manufacturing laws, punish those who are in violation (and the punishment must fit the crime please no more hand slaps), and the rest of the pieces should fall into place.
