George Monbiot has launched a new site which exposes companies and organisations that are “greenwashing” their businesses….
“Few corporations or public figures are now stupid enough to deny
that climate change is happening, or that we need to reduce our
emissions of greenhouse gases. Instead, most of them now claim to be on
the side of the angels. They make public statements or publish reports
designed to persuade us that they are “working towards sustainabilityâ€.
In a few cases, they really are. But for every genuine reformer,
there are half a dozen who are simply greenwashing their existing
practices. The people who will destroy the ecosystem are not, or not
only – sneering industrialists in pinstriped suits, but nice-looking
people in open-necked shirts who claim that they are just as concerned
as the rest of us to save the planet….”
