Fisher Price Precious Planet Is A Lie
Green Lifestyle  (tags: greenwash, greenwashing, fisher price, mattel, precious planet, marketing, ethics, hypocrisy )

If you saw a range of toys called "Precious Planet", what would you think? Three cute animals smiling at the shopper, with a bird appearing to walk across a blue and green globe, partially masked by the bubbly blue writing. And it's all greenwash.

My daughter saw a film of elephants being abused at the Great British Circus. She was so upset she wanted to do something about it, so we made this video. All of her words are her own.
BioFuel Africa Representative Goes Apeshit Bonkers

I wouldn't have written this story had I not been asked to, but I was and so I have. Strangest of all, the person who asked me to write it is the subject of the story and is really angry for most of the time. Confused? I still am. It's a good story.
Greenpeace USA Grants Kimberly-Clark Two Years Unlimited Destruction

Greenpeace USA have made a "groundbreaking deal" with Kimberly-Clark with regards to their destructive activities in the Canadian Boreal Forest. It's all over, "Case Closed!" as Greenpeace say; yet how can it be if the destruction is still going on?!
Obama Kick-Starts The Corporate Takeover Of Africa
US Politics & Gov't  (tags: obama, africa, politics, corporations, corporate, ghana, speech, empire, bechtel, exxonmobil )

Keith

A seemingly innocuous speech to the people of Accra, Ghana, but on listening more closely it became clear that Obama was promoting imperialism; in short, the corporate takeover of Africa, dressed up as wonderful message of help and friendship.
Hopenhagen: Climate Greenwashing With UN Approval
Environment  (tags: hope, hopenhagen, climate, climate change, united nations, greenwash, greenwashing, hypocrisy )

Keith

A campaign to help save the planet; or an advertising industry led slice of corporate greenwashing, with the approval of the United Nations? This is a terrible story of how easily hope can be hijacked by industry and global bodies. DON'T HOPE - ACT!
Parents Revolt Over Baby Show Links to Arms Trade
Society & Culture  (tags: arms, arms trade, parenting, babycenter, hypocrisy, weapons )

Members of a parenting website are challenging the site's owners Johnson and Johnson over its association with the commercial arms trade. The parents, who post on BabyCentre.co.uk, have besieged its owners with messages and postings...
Energy Union and Friends Of The Earth : A Greenwashing Alliance
Environment  (tags: climate change, greenwash, greenwashing, energy union, friends of the earth, global warming, hypocrisy )

Keith

Symbolic action and inadequate solutions are just as dangerous as intentional greenwashing, and that is why it is very important that you understand the implications of the Energy Union, a project that *doesn't* have the solutions, despite what it claims.
Time's Up!

There is a book I would like you all to read, and you don't have to pay a single penny for it, if you don't want to. The book is called "Time's Up! An Uncivilized Solution To A Global Crisis" and it could change the way you feel about everything...
The Climate Group: Nothing But A Bunch Of Businesses
Environment  (tags: climate change, corporations, corporate, business, greenwash, hypocrisy, tony blair )

Keith

The Climate Group is hailed by many and made out to be a potential saviour to the climate crisis. It is nothing of the sort - it was created by business, for business, so that businesses can capitalise out of technological climate change mitigation.
