We are ‘greening’ ourselves to extinction

"They argued that the end of the world is a profitable opportunity for those who know how to “fade the fear”, as everyone else panics. They maintained that when disaster strikes, investors should approach it with the rationale that “no matter how bad things seem, they really aren’t that bad”"

That article is just a rehash of the falsity of 'greenwashing'. That is where people or businesses implement half arsed environmentally focussed strategies in order to capitalise on the public's gullibility in such matters. It is not so much about 'greening' so much as misrepresentation of the practices it describes.

The same applies to those marketing produce as spray free, 'natural' or other such nature friendly descriptors, which are in fact legally meaningless. The only way to ensure produce is chemical free and environmentally is by way of buying certified Organic products. This guarantees the environmental integrity of such products by way of a robust audit trail.

It takes significant effort to separate ourselves from the toxic and environmentally destructive practices that are the norm in today's world but so many people's concentration span is similar to that of their goldfish the less scrupulous suppliers and providers have a field day.
