Ecology and Green-Washing Ecology Many problems beset the earth today. Among them are global warming, the ozone layer, and loss of species diversity. There is much disagreement among scientists about the severity of these problems. As a result, the political leaders of the world cannot agree on a quick and drastic solution to these problems. It does not matter what the scientists and politicians believe. If there is only a 10% probability of the harshest scenario coming true, something drastic must be done immediately. If someone told you that you could lose all of your material possessions and possibly the lives of your children by not drastically changing your lifestyle, I am sure you would change immediately. You would change even if there was only a 10% probability of actuality. This is the situation we face today on planet Earth. Consider it. Green-Washing I find many large companies today who are still not eco-friendly putting on their green masks. Major polluters are pretending to be friends of the Earth. I have seen this in their advertising and in their quoted corporate policies. Beware of green- washing. It wipes right off.
