Greenwashing?

If you dont know what greenwashing is, this pretty much explains it! Greenwashing is when a company thries to play up the enviromental benefits of a product, but most of the time they are misleading. Especially now, companies are in a race to go green, but many of them just put on a green facade.

LOL. You are right I fully understand what Greenwashing is. Its funny how things that make you laugh open your eyes. A lot of people don'r understand the logic behind super projects that large companies create with tag lines like eco-friendly or better living. The best thing I can identify this with is gentrification.

I like that cartoon. It's funny but at the same time it's sad. It sound so much like the first sin of greenwashing: The hand off. Many companies direct your attention to the small things they are doing that is green but they try to hide the larger things that are not green. It's just like a magic trick...they direct your attention to one hand so you can't see what the other hand is doing
