What does it mean to be "Green"

So I have been looking around for weeks now trying to learn about so-called “Green” products for the RV and all I can say is, everything is green these days. I have seen chemical products claiming to be green because it is packaged in a bottle made with recycled material and nearly anything that saves power is claiming to be green even if it used enough toxins to kill a village to produce the product. I know being green is all the rave right now, but good lord there needs to be some standards out there. Some educated, non-corporate sponsored sources that really look into the elledged greeness of products. All I know as I look into this more and more is that things are not what they seem in the world of environmentally friendly products. Some websites are founded to push products of questionably eco-friendliness by the manufacturers themselves and others are hippy types who obviously don’t think much beyond the ingredients in the product. What about manufacturing process? Are they using chemicals? Are they dumping it and where? What kind of waste is produced? How is it transported? What if it is shipped on a small plane from China and releases outrageous amounts of exhaust into the atmosphere? There is more to being green than a label telling it is so but it is getting really difficult to get legitimate info on being “Green”. I am doing my best though!
