Hi I usually don’t get involved with these post however I also went out and visited the Clean Air Green Tour when they were in our area. First of all if your going to list the sponsors get it right it is Scott Naturals which is a recycling line of products hmmm that is green to me especially since I wouldn’t have known about it if I wouldn’t have visited the tour. I would also like to say before you bash these young people for doing a good thing you might want to RESEARCH them first. I have to admit I did question each product on the bus and displays and they had a GREEN answer for each one. You could see they were sweating and very hot but still took the time out to welcome me and explain each GREEN product in detail. I was very impressed with the Clean Air Green tour and very dissappointed to see the post trying to make them out to be GREENWASHING when they are clearly making a very GREEN statement!

Typical Rush Limbaugh lovers: blaming their own confusion on us.
David posted on one campaign, and I commented with entirely another. The “Meat Is Not Green” campaign is entirely different from the greenwashing he was talking about, and it does exist. It’s run by PETA (no surprise).
And while planting trees is indeed commendable, I completely agree that the National Clean Air Green Tour is a classic case of greenwashing, as most of these corporations contribute mightily to carbon emissions. Planting that many trees will maybe offset Scott Tissue for a few months.

I saw the bus in person and if your at all interested they have a great message and have planted over 20,000 trees in the last month including donating trees to many cities in need due to storms. Also they had 1400 watts of solar and if you read up close it dosn’t say Meat is not green, it clearly states Mean It Green It. Also if you do alittle research on them they market only green companies and get funding from all companies for environmental projects. Typical left wingers putting your mouth in front of your brain
