I came across this little buddy as I was researching - it's an add-on for Firefox from an organization called KnowMore that informs you of various corporations, brands or products' impact on the environment as you browse the web. This organization does significant work to inform the public about the products they buy and the vendors they support with those purchases. Above are the founders of the company B. Dolan and Sage Francis.
Here's how the add-on works:
In search engines such as Google --KnowMore's intuitive issue specific icons will show up next to the relevant company's URL in search results.The icons represent: Worker Rights, Human Rights, Political Influence, Environmental Impact, & Business Ethics. If the corresponding icon is red, this means there are significant areas of concern, if it is yellow this means the company is neutral, if green the company has been given a positive rating. It updates every 24 hours.
If you want to download the add-on you can do it here.
