Does the "Green" label on a product impact your buying decision?
Yes, I actively seek out only those products with "Green" labels.
Yes, if it comes down to two products, one "Green" the other not, I will pick the "Green" item.
Maybe, if it catches my eye and fits my budget, I may consider a "Green" Product.
No, "Green" products have no impact on my buying decision.
Yes, I actively avoid buying "Green" products.
I don't understand what all the fuss is about.
No, I believe "Green" products are a waste of time, money and energy.

I’ll freep the poll as “no impact” and here’s why. If, when comparing apples to apples, it does the EXACT same job as a non-green product and is less expensive, sure I’ll buy it. The problem is, that’s never the case.
I prefer “green” because I CHOOSE to avoid chemicals. But I do it without making special purchases. Diluted distilled white vinegar in an inexpensive spray bottle is my all-purpose cleaner. Vinegar is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral. The bonus is it’s cheaper than even generic ap cleaners. Cheap laundry soap: 1 bar grated Fels-Naptha blended in food processor with 2 cups Borax and 2 cups washing soda (not baking soda). Voila!
No and Hell no!.....
ditto.
And hell to the no!
Probably their poll.
How about, “Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.” I never print e-mails, but when I see this tagline I want to do it just for spite.
When I see “green” it usually means an inferior product that I do not want so I never even bother to look at such labeled products.
P.S. Everything labeled “green” is usually more expensive and an inferior product.
Yep, me and 79 others agree, ‘green’ products are a waste of time, energy and money. And I also actively avoid buying ‘green’ stuff.
I got some Debbie Meyer Green Bags. They keep fruit fresh longer.

If it turns green after I bought it, I’ll either wipe it off or toss it.
LMAO, less than 4% are pro-green.
I never noticed it.
94% are non-green. Interesting results. What I have found is that the new formulas of my old products don’t clean as well so regardless of whether you buy “green” or not, unfortunately you’re not getting the same product as before.
I can remember when “green” meant “naive” and “inexperienced”. I think it still does.
NO, but the PINK Susan G. Komen ribbon does, it remains on the shelf! I refuse to support any org that gives my money to Planned Parenthood. When I gave it to solve disease of cancer.
I refuse to buy anything “green”.
ONLY when buying mustard or turnips grees.
