Today I read about greenwashing. Rather than actually becoming environmentally friendly, some companies simply make it look as if they are. Through selective advertising, slick PR, and sometimes outright lying, the same companies which brought us to the brink of climate disaster are selling themselves as part of the solution to the climate crisis. This practice is known as greenwashing.
Fossil fuel companies market fossil gas as ‘natural gas’, and make it out to be the clean, green fuel of the future. I admit I read this and realised I may have been under the misconception before that there is no difference between fossil gas and natural gas. My family uses Hydraulic natural gas in their vehicles. Now I need to be more careful and avoid fossil gas. Advocate for my family to travel more by public transport and travel low carbon.
