Yeah it makes me not buy it.
Only if I’m looking for green paint.
“Yes, I actively avoid buying “Green” products.”
Unless it has to do with MY Green Bay Packers. Then, I’ll buy it!
GO!! PACK!! GO!!
Now ask me where all my plastic goes...
With the question, they found a way to split the NO vote.
I dont buy green..its a gimmick and thats all.
Bad news for the Green Party.
Nope, I won’t go near any of this ‘green’ commie crappola propaganda, products or anything else. what a crock and the sheeple lap it.
YES - I will avoid it if the propoganda is particularly egregious.
It does impact my decision - I immediately cease considering it for purchase.
Not a lot of response yet, but it appears to be mostly us anti-green types responding so far:
Does the “Green” label on a product impact your buying decision?
Yes, I actively avoid buying “Green” products. (8) 38.1%
No, I believe “Green” products are a waste of time, money and energy. (7) 33.3%
No, “Green” products have no impact on my buying decision. (4) 19%
When I see “green” I think, “conman”.
Same with "Save a tree, get your statement paperless" "This product is made from recycled materials" and any other "Save the Fragile Earth" crapola.
And the only thing that goes into my recycle bin is wine bottles and the Sunday paper.
Price, preferences and quality are what matters. “Green” is a marketing and political scam and nothing more. The primary example of that is the curly lightbulb that requires special handling for disposal. We all know where 99.9% of these go when they burn out...unintended consequences of “green” thinking.
Thanks

Yes, I actively avoid buying “Green” products.
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!.....
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.
