These days green wash comes in many flavors, colors, and varieties. There are even a few colorful local examples we have been tracking for some time now at Buckeye Sustainability Institute. Anyone have some good examples of their own they would like to share?
RAID- Earth Options goes to show that eco sells. The product containes a synthetic version of a plant based pesticide. Synthesized. Recall some plants contain deadly compounds.
If you take plant extracts that are harmful and concentrate them in your underground lab and then make them for public consumption... does that make sense? Ahh see my previous post on the precautionary principle. Just because something is from a 'synthesized natural source' LOL does not make me want to spray it. Unfortunatly, these products are banking on a society that looks no further than their title and expensive ad campaign. Just like a camel cartoon charector on some candy cigs?
What can we do to help people realize our govt does not protect us from corporations lust for the almighty dollar. Often times they put our safety, health, and the environment at risk to keep their shareholders happy. Are you starting to see shareholders waking up?
Local green wash examples anyone?
