Welcome! Our directory is live and ready to help you find available green building
products and services. We encourage you to rate items and share what you know so
that others may learn from your experiences. Note that this site is still new -
it may take some time before you see multiple ratings. And make sure to keep your
comments constructive!

How products are added to the database:
There are three ways a product or service can be listed on the
Rate It Green site:
1. Rate It Green Team Members learn about the product or service and post a limited
"temporary" listing.
2. Rate It Green Members can suggest green products or services for addition to
the site, which Rate It Green will then research and add if appropriate through
a limited "temporary" listing.
3. Companies can add their own products and services. Registered companies are those
for which you will see more full records.
In addition, companies can upgrade limited listings to more full
records to better inform Rate It Green members at any time by registering (free
of charge). Feel free to contact companies with limited "temporary" listings via
the web listing provided and let someone know you you would like to learn more about
this product/service on Rate It Green!
Temporary vs. full records:
You may note that some records contain more information than others.
The more basic "Temporary listings" are for those companies which have not yet registered
on the site. As companies register, we will upload more detailed information they
provide. Rate It Green decided that it really made sense for companies to be able
to speak for themselves. It’s a free marketing opportunity we are happy to offer,
but more importantly we want companies to provide the information about which people
should be evaluating their performance. In the mean time, these records help us
provide a more full database of available green products and services. They also
provide a space so that you may rate and read about them.
How ratings are calculated:
The "Composite/Overall Rating represents the average of all Overall
reviewer ratings scores submitted for a product or service. Composite Detailed Ratings
are averages of all scores submitted for a particular characteristic or attribute
of a product or service. Members are only required to complete an Overall rating
for each product or service for the system to process the entry. All other information
is optional. The highest possible score at Rate It Green is a "10," meaning the
member had a high positive opinion while a "1" is the lowest, meaning the user had
the lowest negative opinion.
Please be kind and respectful:
As you rate, please make sure to be respectful of the organizations
and companies, and other Rate It Green members (!) that make up our community. We
welcome praise and advice and even criticism, but all ratings should be constructive
in nature.
Note: The opinions, ratings, and comments posted by members
on the Rate It Green web site are the comments and opinions of the individual member
who posts them only and do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of Rate
It Green. Rate It Green Team Members will monitor posted content on a regular basis
for unsuitable content, but we also ask for the participation of community members
in helping to keep the site a comfortable and open public forum of ideas. If you
believe that unsuitable content has been posted, please contact Allison Friedman:
afriedman@rateitgreen.com Our team
will then take the appropriate action, which may include notifying the participant
to cease and removing such postings. For guidance on what constitutes suitable content
on the Rate It Green site, please refer to the User
Agreement and Site Rules.
