Greenwashing The Green Movement for Big Profits

[hawtdog79]

OOOOOOOOOOOOH. Lets occupy Washington too. And we'll trash the place cause we believe in the "Green movement".

[hawtdog79]

This chick is absolutely "Greenwashed". It means brainwashed to think that we are destroying our planet. Kind of funny, don't you think? Who is right? Al Gore, or 30,000 scientist involved in a class action lawsuit against Al Gore? Tough one...

[Rotpig]

Yes, lets live without toilet paper and food and fuel for the car and clothes. Lets go back to the stoneage. WTF? Listen to this green bullshit!

[vjcxmqcuphea]

What is that one product that is truly green?

[vjcxmqcuphea]

What about biodegradable bags? Cellouse tape? to-go boxes made of bigrass?

[Richard482]

Glad they got a fit bird to present these video's :)

[BeWellMyFriends]

Ouch! Painfully informative, but it's good to know. :-)

John R. Christy has been accused of recanting his position that climate change is neither Anthropogenic nor Catastrophic, but he didn’t. He used two independent data sets, weather balloon and satellite for his findings. (see links in my about me) Later he only stated that there was some anthropogenic impact that could not be predicted 100 years out, but that what we’re doing was good for the plants.

1 /2 Obama stop offshore drilling until it was reinstated. This could cause a $5 a gallon increase, because we would grow dependent upon foreign nations we are not allies with in order to provide our oil. Cap and Trade (American Power Act) would increase gas prices increase by $2.58 a gallon according to George C. Marshall Institute& taxes on the average household up to $3200 according to the RNC Foreign countries price gouge w/ gas prices to $10/gal!.

Hahah , did you hear the code word sustainable living ? yeah , we all consume to much thats the problem not the Greatest hoax in world history " the green movement" . DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE ON THIS VIDEO.

[breakthroughliving]

This is a hard hitting video. I like the message, it was hard to hear and in a way it made me angry...which probably means that I needed to hear it.

[newtongrace]

I run an education service in the UK that shows people this sort of stuff - check it out, it would be good to have some hits from around the world!

Global Warming is a scam, so I think this is also a question of just talking about green anything. There's greenwashing AND talking about anything "green".

I encourage everyone to watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle".

[misterfung]

@camreeno360 Your a fool. The earth is heating up. And its time to do something about it now.

[camreeno360]

@misterfung There's four problems with this reply. First you resorted to an ad hominem name attack (look up logical fallacies on Wikipedia). Secondly, the earth is not "heating up" in any sense that the global warming movement says it is, but rather it's based on faulty data collected from temperature readings from warmer locations (which was done on purpose). Thirdly, you can't take such radical actions to something with such precarious evidence in the first place. Fourthly, it's "you're".

[fr33light]

The study shows that 99% of products committed GWashing because it was flawed. If you actually time the time to analyze the "sins" you'll see that every product in the world will eventually "sin". This study was a very bad marketing stunt that is fooling people into a mind trap. They did the study to promote their own certified products claiming they are the "real green thing". WRONG again. Never trust a marketing firm. As for this woman in the video; she's just a pawn who knows nothing...

[poopster77]

The problem with the whole"green movement" is that the U.S. is the only one that is hell bent on the whole"Green"deal. Do you think China, India, Russia or any other country that produces goods gives two shits about it being "earth friendly? NO! China produces more than half of the goods the U.S. uses and there are no restrictions in that country. Thats why we have lead in the toys, food that is poisonous, etc,etc. Most homes are heated with coal or oil burning furnaces. Give it up---------

[mag1k2]

@poopster77

Kyoto Protocol?

[ZeroFossilFuel]

Now there's an eye opener! The commentary was pretty good too. ;-)

[frpd5]

One thing is for certain, many of those that have commented, apart from lacking in manners and articularcy, are blind to the facts

[puzzey83]

well no one wants or needs u so go to hell

[uhaegde2wiceover]

Bolshevism WOOO HOOOO!!!!

[shane2973]

Ill tell u what, this bitch can go do without everything she dosnt need to save the enviroment, but i personally will still buy things not just when i need them but because i want them

[giantgreenbuddy]

Uses for cannabis:paper,cardboard,plast­ic,building materials for houses and cars,hemp can replace crude oil and energy from coal,food,clothing,medicine for many illnesses and diseases including cancer and neurological disorders,concrete to build roads and houses..ect.

It is also the #1 and most effective recreational drug.Cannabis is safer than coffee yet it is effective enough for millions as an alternative to using alcohol.

"Well, we were all in business first" -wrong solution.

[halcyon180]

your a chemical plant

[EDGEN123]

I hate this green movement

[WoodruffJamie]

You make some excellent points. Check out OIL SPILL ELIMINATOR on You Tube. It adds a little plastic, But can reduce spillage. Not perfect, but a real convenience

[avrilsdream]

What a fucking joke the whole "green" thing is. The second it was stopped being called "responsible" and was called "green" it was simply a marketing ploy to guilt people into buying more products. Then other companies had to follow suit for fear of being called "irresponsible." Simply be responsible about waste, and leave most things that say "green" the fuck on the shelves. Don't be a puppet; don't encourage this nonsense. It's not you that's benefiting from so-called "green."

[DustyMay1944]

Did anyone really believe the "green movement" was started by environmentalist? It was started by Al Gore and others like him to make a profit off the "save the earth" morons (and other ideots) and to get the government to help uncle Al sell worthless and meaningless carbon credits. It's a sham, WOW!

[Snafuski]

@DustyMay1944 Sorry, the "green movement" was started well before and was taken over/coopted by mega corps and politicians, in the same way Bismarck coopted the socialist movement in the 1870s. Al Gore had nothing to do with the green movement.

[gufflydotcom]

Great video on greenwashing, unfortunately it's a big problem. People are not thinking about the carbon footprint that is left behind in the process of making and delivering products.

[watchulla]

Wow!!! I just got a ego pimp smack to the face backhand!!!LOL I was not looking for all this to be in this Video. She is so fucking right, most of the things I buy i don't even need. I stop using paper towel and now i just bought so rags to clean my house and wash them. So i know where she is comming from with this. I am addicted to STUFF!!

[whodank]

'For big business, going green become the trendy/profitable thing to do" This whole fucking green movement is nothing more then trendy/profitable, not just business. Dirty hippies.

[RPWproductions]

sustainable living = caveman era living  there is no way to live green without giving up the benefits of a modern industrial society

[NEVERWRONG1957]

Great. Now they have a show about this Hoax.

[Raksaht]

West vs East / poor vs rich is only part of the problem... oversimplified. The growth rate for poor countries and the growing economies of formerly poor countries like China and India are going to put tremendous strains on the natural resources. The 10X factor you mentioned becomes somewhat unbalanced considering the impact that will be made by those two countries alone. I do, of course, agree that Western/developed country citizens waste resources. That's obvious. They don't seem to care.

[societas1]

Well said.

[Beanybhoy67]

I'm currently doing my dissertation on supermarkets greenwashing the british public. This brief video does an excellent job of summing up the sins of green washing study.

Well done!

[goose1077]

Look at all the lights on behind her. This cracks me up. The whole green issue boils down to population. Just stop having babies if you want to be green.

[NWforager]

1 . she is in front of a 'green screen'(no pun)

2. one might say its not as much a population issue as a resource and consumerism issue.

[goose1077]

In order to put that on a green screen, they would have had to go to a store and film it. It wasn't an artist creation. The lights are real.

[NWforager]

right , the lights are really in the store. But she isnt. Just superimposed on a picture of the store. right? but yea, its a bummer that the light in the picture is on=D.

[Raksaht]

It is a population issue at a fundamental level. You can't have an infinite number of consumers on finite resources. Even 'green' shoppers, if there are enough of them, will have a negative impact on the environment.

[NWforager]

oversimplified . 'infinite population' isn't possible .I agree that our current demands are headed towards imbalance with the supply . Take a closer look at the resources some people in other countries use compared to you and I here in the Western world. The resources 1 westerner uses could possibly equal 10 times what some others use. So ,if it were a pop issue ,it might be a Western pop issue alone. Most resources produces in the 3rd world end up in the 1st .
