Not easy being green -- The Federal Trade Commission said it had reached a settlement with Tested Green, a company that issued "green" environmental certifications to businesses for up to $550. According to the FTC, between February 2009 and April 2010, the company sold certifications that were "worthless," as Tested Green never examined the businesses. The FTC said that Tested Green also deceived customers by citing endorsements from the National Green Business Assn. and the National Assn. of Government Contractors –- which are both owned by Tested Green owner Jeremy Ryan Claeys.
