Currently, information on sustainability is scattered globally among many other government agencies, professional organizations, universities, non-governmental organizations and commercial entities. The purpose of this directory is to provide an easy way to locate sustainable information on the Internet. People from any organization or company can get into the directory and look for information related to sustainability. Conversely, those who have sustainable information to share with others, can post sustainable environmental information along with their contact information on this site. This enables a direct communication link between those who have information about sustainable information and those who are looking for that same information.
Information is grouped into communities, facilities, and products.
These groupings help refine the search for information. Recommended questions are provided to help educate the person searching for information. This results in empowering the consumer to make the appropriate choice. The information provider also benefits from this information transaction by learning what the consumer is looking for and needs. In order to keep the information fresh, the information must be verified and updated at least annually.
