One Month Left to Comment on USDA’s Proposed BioPreferred Label

You have one month left (until September 29, 2009) to comment on the USDA’s proposed BioPreferred label that we first posted here earlier this month. The proposed BioPreferred eco-label will identify “bio-based” products (i.e., made out of agricultural, forestry, or marine-based products). Click here to read a one-page fact sheet about the proposed label.

Visit the links below for more information:

     – Read the BioPreferred news release
     – Read about the proposed label in the Federal Register
     – Leave comments (First, click on “Search for a Proposed Rule” and insert “0503-AA35″ or “biobased” (no quotes) under “keyword.”)
     – Visit the BioPreferred Web site at www.biopreferred.gov

Feel free to contact us directly with any questions that you may have.
