This recently launched site has already compiled data on more than 260 of the world's estimated 410 green labelling schemes, with the overall goal of taking the mystery out of the bewildering herd of green labels by studying the foundations of all types of eco-labels aimed at both consumers and corporations.

Ecolabelling.org, a project of the Vancouver-based web developing company Big Room, looks at the sources of more than 260 different ecolabels from around the globe -- labels covering everything from organic food to building products -- with the intent of cutting out consumer confusion around green labelling schemes.

A community-based endeavor, the site welcomes suggestions and contributions from readers around the globe to try and stay on top of the many flavors of green labels out there.
