Greenwashing Exposed: 7 Ways Companies Mislead You

🌿 "Greenwashing Exposed: 7 Ways Companies Mislead You" is your ultimate guide to unveiling the truth behind the eco-friendly facade many businesses project. As your trusted companion in sustainable living, I, Cory, dive deep into the murky waters of greenwashing to help you make truly people and planet-friendly purchases. 🌍💚
In this eye-opening video, we'll explore:
1. *Green by Association:* How companies use certifications to appear more sustainable.
2. *The "Just a Little More" Greenwashing Tactic:* Promises of future sustainability that sidestep current unethical practices.
3. *The Politician’s Promise:* Climate commitments that are all talk, no action.
4. *The Duck Test:* If it looks and sounds sustainable, is it really?
5. *Green by Acquisition:* How big corporations buy smaller, eco-focused companies to improve their image.
6. *Telling Your Favorite Parts:* Selective sharing of sustainability achievements.
7. *Crimes of Business Past and Present:* The reality of companies' impacts on the environment and society.
Our journey doesn't stop with identifying the problem; it's about empowering you to demand better from businesses and supporting those who prioritize ethics and sustainability.
We can push for transparency, accountability, and genuine efforts towards a more sustainable world. Remember, it's not just about making better choices as consumers; it's about demanding better from businesses for our planet's and its people's sake.

Very surprised that this channel doesn't have more subscribers/viewers. You're doing great work, keep at it! More corporations need to adopt ESG principles and work towards sustainable business practices.
