We dive down to see coral reefs, not realizing that an ingredient in our sunscreen feeds a virus that kills the reef.

In \u003ci\u003eEcological Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e, Daniel Goleman reveals why so many of the products that are labeled green are a \"mirage,\" and illuminates our wild inconsistencies in response to the ecological crisis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on cutting-edge research, Goleman explains why we as shoppers are in the dark over the hidden impacts of the goods and services we make and consume, victims of a blackout of information about the detrimental effects of producing, shipping, packaging, distributing, and discarding the goods we buy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the balance of power is about to shift from seller to buyer, as a new generation of technologies informs us of the ecological facts about products at the point of purchase.
