Green Consumer

New GreenPlanetSearch 3.0 when you want to search Green, Altsearchengines (Nov 29)

GreenPlanetSearch combines graphics, very interactive interface, video articles (and advertisements) to interest the eco-minded consumer.

"“Our eco-search results will blow people away with a whole new level of relevancy and reliability,” says Michael Haney, Founder/Co-CEO and Chief Technology Officer. “Rather than overwhelm you with a grossly inflated number of green search results, our double-vetted search engine provides instant, eco-weighted results based on what YOU’RE looking for — not what some ‘green washing’ marketer wants to sell you.”"

One could spend some time here enjoying the graphics, but it's a bit thin on content, and at least two areas don't come up: Education, and Home Living > Clean and Green. There is a search box which does work and produces several results for cleaning products.

It's possible that these results come from sites that ask to be listed rather than being selected by editors. Some cleaning product sites I saw were light on information and heavy on advertising.
