I have decided to add a new category on greenwashing. It's so prolific, we simply must have some displayed here on Guilty Planet. I am in favor of companies doing the right thing and I imagine that Nature's Path is up there as earth-friendly business models go. But I am worried about the proliferation of messaging without meaning.

Now everything is green, eco and sustainable. Doesn´t matter the real meaning of these words, use these and people will buy. The question I always do is: people know identify greenwashing? You, me, people concerned about it certainly yes, but the rest?
