"Greenwash - Are we being conned by Eco-labels?"
These days we’re bombarded with media messages touting the latest and greatest eco-saviors. Compact fluorescent light bulbs save the polar bears! Bamboo clothes redefine eco-agriculture! Mineral makeup pretties-up your face and the planet too!
How do we separate the hope from the hype? We'll be trying to sidestep the spin and tip up a few 'eco sacred cows' to discover the real green hopes some products provide — and what kinks they still have to work out.
