we are going to see more and more of this deceptive "green" aware corporate dishonesty as PR firms regard everything as just one more marketing tool.

Its well past time for Homo Consumens everywhere to educate themselves, and for those of us who give a damn to expose the environmental danger deniers and fast buck artists (sociopaths) wherever and whenever they raise their ugly heads.

Bad things happen when good people do nothing.
