Enviroment friendly

Environmentally friendly (also eco-friendly, nature friendly, and green) are synonyms used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal or no harm on the environment. To make consumers aware, environmentally friendly goods and services often are marked with eco-labels. But because there is no single international standard for this concept, the International Organization for Standardization considers such labels too vague to be meaningful.

Regional variants
Europe
Products located in members of the European Union can use the EU’s Eco-label pending the EU’s approval. EMAS is another EU label that signifies whether an organization management is green as opposed to the product. Germany also uses the Blue Angel, based on Germany’s standards.
North America
In the United States, environmental marketing claims require caution. Ambiguous titles such as environmentally friendly can be confusing without a specific definition; some regulators are providing guidance.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has deemed this language useless in determining whether a product is truly “green”.
In Canada, one label is that of the Environmental Choice Program. Created in 1988, only products approved by the program are allowed to display the label.
Oceania
The Energy Rating Label is a Type III label that provides information on “energy service per unit of energy consumption”. It was first created in 1986, but negotiations led to a redesign in 2000.
International
Energy Star is a program with a primary goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Energy Star has different sections for different nations or areas, including the United States, the European Union and Australia. The program, which was founded in the United States, also exists in Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and Taiwan.
