Green Home, Inc. and Green Restaurants Association Celebrate Earth Day 2003 by forming Unique Partnership
San Francisco, CA..April 22, 2003 -- Green Home Inc., (www.greenhome.com) the premier resource for environmentally preferable products and services on the Internet, today announced that they signed a partnership with the Green Restaurants Association of Los Angeles, CA, to offer a unified storefront to restaurateurs who want to go green, just in time for Earth Day. Research has shown that over 61% of consumers express a preference for environmentally friendly, or "green", products -- those that are less toxic, save energy, or conserve resources, and often work better than mainstream equivalents. And 100% of these consumers eat in restaurants.
Under terms of the agreement, Green Home.s products will be featured on the new GRA Web site, (www.dinegreenstore.com) as the exclusive shopping vendor, providing a specially selected range of green products to the GRA audience. An environmental superstore, the Green Home Web site features more than one thousand products across 150 categories as well as services.
"By joining GRA, Green Home will be able to provide diners with healthier and earth-friendly alternatives this Earth Day," stated Green Home CEO and President, Lawrence Comras. "Virtually every consumer product on the market today has an environmentally preferable alternative. This Earth Day Green Home is proud to focus on the best items restaurant owners need..
The Dine Green Web site has an extensive educational aspect, including detailed articles written by leading authors and experts in the areas of healthy dining and environmentalism. An online restaurant walk through illustrates how restaurateurs can check various safety factors, such as radioactive cockroaches, water quality in the kitchen, safe paint and materials found in a typical food production facilities.
"We're thrilled to have Green Home as our new Co-Branded Store" says Michael Oshman, GRA President and CEO. "We value their integrity and deep understanding of what qualifies a product as 'green' as much as the fantastic products themselves"! And working with Lawrence Comras has always been a lifelong dream of mine.
Green Home screens products through a proprietary product and service approval process, aggregating existing certification seals in combination with an in-house advisory board made up of leaders from the environmental community, scientists, green marketing experts, and representatives from green businesses. These resources enable Green Home to guarantee its products and services are truly green as well as being on a par with competitive, non-green products.
The U.S. market potential for green consumer products is estimated to exceed $30 billion by the year 2002, according to independent research commissioned by Green Home.
