Greenwashing

According to google, Greenwashing is the practice of making an unsubstantiated claim about the environmental benefits of a product, service, technology or company practice. Greenwashing can make a company appear to be more  environmentally friendly that it actually is.

Some greenwashing companies are:

Air travel - "Easy Jet continues with their brazen claims that travelling on an easy jet plane is better for the environment than a hybrid car"

Meat - "Lots of companies advertise their meat as "wholesome", "premium quality" and "all natural" Despite these labels, they source their meat from factory farms and feed their animals genetically modified corn and inject them with alt water for a plumping effect"

There are many more examples of greenwashing, too many actually and it's horrendous that companies go to the length of lying to sell their product. They trick people into think that their products are environmentally friendly, when in reality they're the complete opposite.
