Companies are using databases to make an effort to conserve natural resources. Some sell reusable products, such as lead-free lunch bags, water bottles, and household items, and also educate consumers on how they can help reduce consumption of disposable items. The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) website has a searchable database showcasing greener electronics. Its rating system identifies computers, imaging equipment, and televisions manufactured by at least 60 companies worldwide.
