While at a Timberland store, I could not help but notice these boxes! On the side they had a green label that said ‘Our Footprint‘ and mentioned, was information like - how much impact they had on the environment and the community, while creating these pair of shoes you were going to buy. If child labor was involved, code of conduct in the factories, where it was manufactured - while not everything there made sense to me it was interesting to see the information.

I searched online to find out more about this and found many other products that avail this information. A trip to the grocery store is in order to get the real deal!

But unfortunately, presently only manufacturers publishing this information are the ones that are already doing things the right (greener) way, and have a customer base that is ready to pay that extra dollar! It will be interesting to see these labels on our regular products that we get at the grocery market, for instance footprint for ‘ABC mineral water’ might look something like this

Makes me thirsty, I am going to fetch a glass of freshly delivered tap water!
