Check out this three minute video from “The Media Show” (you need sound and the first 30 seconds has only audio)

Also check out this “Greenwash of the Week.” It doesn’t strike me as great journalism, but what do you expect from a two-minute YouTube video? Anyways, it does make the concept of “greenwashing” much clearer “-)
