You included a couple of certifications that I hadn't heard about. My company has the Leaping Bunny seal of approval, and I just received the Green America Seal of Approval. This organization, formerly Co-op America, doesn't certify per se, but there is a rigorous screening process for all companies they include in their network. They look at how companies support workers, communities, AND protect the environment. Wonderful post! You included a couple of certifications that I hadn’t heard about.

You can find Greenguard here: www.greenguard.org. They focus on indoor air quality and certify low-emitting products -- everything from mattresses to curtains to countertops, building materials, and adhesives.
