Greenwash
A conspicuously promulgated environmental-friendly label put upon an otherwise (dogmatic) environmental-
unfriendly product.
As in:
- Detroit has
greenwashed their new SUV by adding a Hybrid option.
- Al Gore has
greenwashed his large jet by burning 'biofuel.'
- Coffee houses
greenwash their disposable cups by adding a "Compostable" label.
- Al Gore
greenwashes his giant energy-sucking compound thru supposed buying of "carbon credits' . .which he also sells and controls.
