As an example, the use of a product may be eco-friendly, but the production or disposal of the product may not be. You need to consider the impact of that product on the environment through out its entire life. As an example, I've raised the question about using flourescent light bulbs. They save energy while in use, but does it take more energy to produce them (and what are the by-products of their production), and how do you dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner?
