 This website allows consumers to "[s]earch hundreds of company profiles by name or by industry and quickly compare the corporate responsibility records of companies within industries" such as beauty and body care, clothing, electronics, and food. Company profiles list any campaigns and alerts associated with the company, along with company contact information and a list of affiliated companies.

This article discusses the question "Are disposable plastic or reusable cloth diapers better for the environment and for the babies themselves?," noting that "[w]hile many of us might answer with a kneejerk 'cloth!', the answer isn't necessarily that easy." Discusses studies and cloth diapering. Note: Some of the diaper companies listed are no longer in business, but current listings can be found by searching for "diapers" in the website's "National Green Pages."
