Greenwashing

Greenwashing is what is killing the green movement.

The green movement is supposed to involve practical solutions to reducing footprint.

Long Term Savings + Long Term Environmental Reduction = Win

But greenwashing idiots have managed to mangle that so bad that we end up doing more long term damage.

"Ya ill buy this SUV with my husband's/wife's hard earned pay and then pay to have some trees planted somewhere" When the amount of trees needed to offset that SUV use is much more than "a few"

The sad thing is because of this bull**** the movement has failed. Now china is taking up what little slack we do let on and it's people are buying gas hogs like there is no tomorrow. They cant even clean up the air for the most important event in decades.
