Eco-conscious labeling comes to Ebay

Since many of the items for sale on Ebay are second-hand, you could probably consider your online shopping obsession a "recycling obsession," and that might help boost your Scuppie self-esteem. However, if you really want to feel good about you shopping addiction, there's a Ebay store that can help you justify all sorts of green and socially-conscious purchases by labeling its goods according to their contribution to the earth. It's called WorldofGood.com.

WorldofGood.com's labeling system -- entitled Goodprint -- is broken down into four categories: People Positive, Eco Positive, Animal Friendly, and Supports a Cause. At the store, you're able actually search their goods based on which causes you care about. So, if animals are your thing, you can search only the products that promote 'species preservation.' If you're not familiar with World of Good, most of their merchandise consists of clothing, baskets, and accessories from around the world -- like Beth's favorite Nepalese sling bag -- so it's not necessarily everyone cup of tea.

Still, I think they really might be on to something here. I'd like to see Ebay launch a site wide eco-labeling system that sellers could register for.
