Why would anyone think it means to cover the world with a bucket of paint, how stupid would that be?When has Philip Morris ever said that their products are not addicting, it says on every pack of cigarettes Surgeon Generals warning Quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health, what does that mean?And why would you wait until you got home to read the label, are there signs in the store that prohibit you from reading labels when your at the store? I&#039;ve read labels on paint cans in a Sherwin Williams store before nobody kicked me out, instead they asked if I had any questions or needed any help.Do you think the LEED people are lying to you? They go by extreme guidelines for everything they do they, are very intelligent people trying to make this world a safer place. If you have a problem why don&#039;t you call them and talk to them about VOC&#039;s and find out more information. If Sherwin Williams says there paint qualifies to be consider Green, why would they subject themselves to the lawsuits if it weren&#039;t true? And don&#039;t you think the LEED people might question them? I would say the manufactures of the paint go by some pretty strict guidelines and I am sure it is tested to the fullest extent, by the government or people working directly for the government.It&#039;s PAINT at least someone is trying to do something about it - what kind of paint  is in your home now? Is what you bought better than that? YES</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think the Logo is great.

My biggest fear is to get some sort of cancer from these paints and chemicals. So i researched and selected Harmony. However, when I took the paint home and read the label, it said in the warning section \&quot;This product contains chemicals known to the state of CA to cause cancer and birth defects....\&quot;THIS IS SCARY!I will be calling the store manager where I bought the paint from.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just bought the harmony paint by sherwin williams and thought I was getting a no VOC toxic free paint.

Most companies boast &quot;zero&quot; VOC and then add TONS of VOC by using glycol based colorants. There are some that now use waterbased tinting colorants. ASK before you buy. Zero doesn&#039;t mean Zero.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the level of emitted VOC after it is tinted.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/01/22/is-it-green-sherwin-williams-paint/#comment-116158</guid> <description>&quot;This is akin to Phillip Morris saying that nicotine is not addictive,” Pace said.&quot;I don&#039;t think this is a very fair comparison. It seems sherwin williams claims for their paint are &quot;as strict as the GreenSeal and LEED building standards&quot;. Phillip Morris saying nicotine is not addictive would be a lie, green sure seems to not be, a pretty significant difference.Also, just because the green sure program was created by sherwin williams does not mean it is unverifiable. By law the VOC levels must be made public, the VOC levels in sherwin williams green sure paint are below the levels required by these strict standards so they are advertised as green. I&#039;m not sure where more third party verification would be needed.And I agree, that logo is awful.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;This is akin to Phillip Morris saying that nicotine is not addictive,” Pace said.&#8221;</p><p>I don&#8217;t think this is a very fair comparison.
