As more Americans become concerned with sustainability issues and eco-friendly habits, the days of eco-fads like reusable shopping bags and refillable water bottles have become everyday lifestyle choices. Here are some predictions for green trends we’ll see in the coming year:
Savvy green consumers. Dating services, dry cleaning, cookware and cat food — all kinds of companies are marketing countless green products. However, consumers have become savvier about deciphering eco-friendly claims. This year, the Federal Trade Commission will revise its guidelines for environmental marketing claims to combat “greenwashing,” or misleading information about environmental benefits of a product or practices of a company. Simple acts, such reading an ingredient list and recognizing overly vague advertising claims, can serve consumers well.
“Eco-superior” products. More households are buying green products, but an eco-friendly dishwashing detergent still has to clean the dishes. Trendwatching.com says 2011 is the year for “eco-superior” products that are better for the environment and better in practice, too.

There are so many ways of going green. Everyday is an opportunity for you to implement them and help preserve the environment.
It really doesn’t matter if your green step is as common as using natural cleaning products, reusing and recycling or as extraordinary as donating millions of dollars to events and projects that can help save the earth from total ruin. Just as long as your doing what you can to aid the “green cause”, it counts.
