GRRRR. Many possible explanations. Hope they will release as scheduled. It’s been a long time coming! Tim C. what do you know about this?

Thanks Julie for point out the addition of yet another eco-certification. GreenGuard Certification will face the same challenges as the thousand other eco-certifications; lack of marketing to consumers. the problem: eco-certifications…
