Our editorial policy

GreenChoice publishes comparisons of household purchases and sustainable living choices. John Shoufler operates the site and is responsible for what it publishes.

Evidence behind a recommendation

Product specifications come from identifiable manufacturer documents. Certification claims should be checked against the certification body or an identifiable product record. Government agencies, scientific research and other independent sources provide context for health, safety, energy and environmental claims. Sources are linked in the article so you can inspect their scope and limitations.

A manufacturer's claim is evidence of what the manufacturer says; it is not an independent performance test. A certification for one material or factory does not automatically apply to every product a brand sells. We distinguish these cases and avoid broad labels such as “non-toxic” or “eco-friendly” without explaining the specific evidence.

What a comparison decides

A guide should answer one buying question: which option fits, and who should skip it. Guides do not publish star ratings. A manufacturer specification stays labeled as the manufacturer's claim.

Useful comparisons

A recommendation should explain who it suits, when it is a poor fit, what a buyer must check, and the tradeoffs against keeping or repairing an existing item. Price, availability, formulas and warranties change. Confirm the current product and terms with the retailer before buying.

Review and corrections

New and substantially revised guides go through a separate evidence review before publication. If you find an unsupported claim, broken source or product mismatch, email editor@greenchoiceaffiliates.com with the article URL and supporting information.

The publication date records when an article was first published. An updated date records a substantive change to its guidance or evidence; rebuilding the website does not refresh those dates.
