The “Green” Sleight of Hand

Finally the Federal Trade Commission has been looking into charges that many products and services purporting to be environmentally friendly are not truly “green.”

A whole profession of “green” experts has arisen, having been trained by colleges, which are now marketing environmental courses and specialties. All this based on the premise that Planet Earth is slowly but surely being denuded and savaged by polluters and greedy merchandisers and their allies.

The FTC has slowly come to the conclusion that many who are promoting these progressive “solutions” to the perceived environmental problems are, themselves, deceiving the public.

Their “green” wares and services have little to do with improving the planet, as advertised.
