By Jill Fehrenbacher on: Propagreenda


Now that green is trendy, marketers are starting see green when they hear the term ‘green’. As the green movement grows, so does the amount of ‘green-wash’ out there - stuff that is marketed to look ‘green’, organic or healthy, but in reality is anything but. Every industry seems to be susceptible to green-washing, from consumer goods, to buildings, to food. Here are the top ten worst examples of greenwash we’ve ever seen…


1. ‘Eco-shaped’ bottled water

2. Hybrid SUVs

3. Carbon credits

4. ‘Eco-friendly’ Mega Mansions

5. ‘Organic’ restaurants that don’t server vegetarian food

6. The Swiffer

7. ‘Clean Coal’
