The Worst Examples of Greenwashing


Key takeaways were:
  • There's an awful lot of it about!
  • It's easy to get cynical - or at best sceptical
  • But there are examples of companies and organisations starting to take real action
  • More and more people (now the majority) want to do the right thing through their spending
  • We really need to consume less, not just better
  • Nudging can help
  • But government action is all-important!
