Environmental Choice Program

Imagine you're at a candy store and you've got some money to spend on sweets. You can choose from different options like lollipops, chocolates, and gummies. But imagine if you found out that some of those sweets were bad for the environment. Maybe they were packaged in a way that caused pollution or they were made with ingredients that harmed forests or animals.

That's where an Environmental Choice Program comes in. It's a special system that helps you choose sweets that are good for the environment. In this case, instead of sweets, it's products like paper, cleaning supplies or building materials. These products go through a special process to make sure they're made with the environment in mind. That means they are designed to cause less pollution, use fewer resources, and not harm animals or nature.

So, whenever you see a product with a special label that says "environmental choice program," you know that it's been checked and approved as being good for the environment. It's like getting a signal that tells you to pick the right candy that is both tasty and good for your body. Good for you and good for nature!
