Greenwash
Your comments on our website can help people decide how genuinely useful sellers green claims are…
GreeninBrum aims to be “broad church”, encompassing many different approaches to environmental sustainability and slowing down global warming. We are keen to publicise green products available in the city, even when some would prefer a no-cost DIY solution, because we believe that “shopping green” is just the approach many people need.
We also recognise that some companies will leap on the green bandwagon with no intention of contributing to reducing global warming – and that some very well-intentioned companies get it wrong. We don’t want to slop “greenwash” (a facade of respectability) on stuff which is actually damaging the planet.
Every “green purchase” involves some degree of compromise, however good the credentials of the company offering it. Rather than censoring certain products on certain criteria, we report anything we can which is not an obvious hoax, but would encourage you to comment on any page either with misgivings or recommendations. Can you tell us
- if you have personal experience of the product or company?
- if you know of better alternatives?
