earth day: part 2
keeping on the earth day theme, i received an email from greenpeace today about 'greenwashing' in businesses. greenwash is "used to describe the act of misleading consumers regarding the environmental practices of a company or the environmental benefits of a product or service.." (cited from stopgreenwash.org)
greenpeace has launched a new website called stopgreenwash.org, where people like you and me can submit ads that we see that we suspect to be not so green as they claim to be.
you can see some examples of greenwashing corporate ads from the website right here .
you can also sign a petition against "clean coal" right here.
don't let them fool you!! check out the website-- the ads range from hummer ads yeah- so environmentally friendly!) to a clean coal success story.
