What is greenwashing? - BBC News 

The other day I saw an "eco smart garden", which was a pot with a light over it for growing herbs in the kitchen. I struggle to imagine a more ecologically unfriendly way of growing herbs.

This was always going to happen, wasn't it? PR spokespeople at companies are truly nauseating to listen to.

It’s crazy how Uk is blended with greenwashing. I am from Italy and I am used to use organic and real eco friendly products for my hair care. When I arrived in Uk I wasted so much time and energy to find real eco friendly products. It’s a shame to make fun of the consumers like that

I realized a long time ago not to trust anything marked organic, eco-friendly, etc.

BBC staff were personally filming yesterday's prctest outside of their building, while the corporation, again, pretends it didn't happen.

Deceptive marketing is nothing new. It's like Coke pretending Diet Coke is good for you .

What about showing the nhs workers who were protesting in London yesterday and the fact they are soon to be out of a job through no fault of their own.

I’m a Gen Z I buy things that cheap and has good quality. I don’t really have the luxury to care whether a company is eco friendly.

Instagram's advertising revenue reach $251 billion in 2021! The question is, how much digital tax does instagram pay your country?

I feel like it's part of a big problem: Destroying language for profit... from 'no copyright infringement intended', to the green washing 'feel good' communication.

I leave my telly on for the cat.

I don't always wear a sweater but when I do its during the winter

Bad news for big companies. They are working very hard to extract more money from them under guise of green wash or green energy. They are going to wash their money and share them their profits. Well done.

We will never forgive or forget all the terrible crimes perpetrated against us and the INDIVIDUALS who were complicit with their lies. Millions won't ever rest until the collaborators face justice.

the greatest enemy of the truth is not dishonest lie but persistence, persuasion, and unrealistic lie that tended to determine market .......environmental crisis

Well, if we can’t trust the companies, where do we go to find trustworthy information about which brands are actually putting action behind their verbiage?

Circular economy is a nessisary future, we have to do what we can to recycle whatever possible and lengthen the lifetime of our products. With this we can generate sooo much more in the long run, enough to be able to ensure that our ressources are spent optimally, efficient and cleanly. Afterall, humanity still needs to prove itself, and i would love to see the day that i can say im proud of humanity.

I have just half a dozen pair of jeans, half a dozen Uniqlo sweatshirts from Tokyo, half a dozen pair of Adidas socks,a Adidas floater and a pair of Adidas shoes, along with few Kurtis.I haven’t purchased a single piece of clothing since 2019, that’s sustainable me. My clothes are dreadfully old,durable,comfortable and very fashionable .

Very good information

Cancel your licence. Don’t pay the tax

Polluters that lie in order to protect themselves are the worse.

Its real and can't stop 🙂 Though using biodegradable materials for production could be quite expensive which may contribute to a high cost of production and entrepreneurs are here to make profits amid other things. expensive might not be able to afford

“Sustainable” does have a definition. It is a poor definition, but better than nothing, located in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

We need a new way of living if we're going to stop climate change in any meaningful way. The amount of people struggling to survive prohibits them from having the time or mental energy to even think about being green.

Every person who buys green products then flys around the world for holidays is greenwashing 😉👍. But don't worry, you care 💓

Each of us is supposed to support the other, and so will we have followers and viewers

Please write the subtitles in bottom whatever the anchor speaks

Thank you 🙂.

Sound so similar whit...brainwashing

Confiscate 100% of the revenue generated by mislabelled items.

Where is John Sweeney?

fashion waste, in particular, is 100% on the individual consumer, simply because it is unnecessary. the amount of clothing being thrown away is absolutely disgusting. those items could be passed on to someone who would actually wear them. altho, to be honest, even the "third world countries" being used as dumping grounds are overwhelmed by the decadent wastefulness of the western world. you want to stop polluting the earth? stop buying stuff you don't need, especially when you're just gonna toss it when it "goes out of style" anyway. stupid humans. 😡

"We don't know what sustainable is" "73% millennials choose sustainable brands" journalism at its best

I struggle to analyse any figures on the environment as neither side are telling the full truth......Everybody has an element of commercialism involved.

Can I use this vedio .... short clip

When can I be not locked down ??? I'm still weighting to be released ? From the prison I have had built around me that now follows every where I go ???

0:24 we all should be carrying a tree around to offset our carbon footprints whenever we go out

I like GREEN CIGARS

It is very urgent thing to tackle climate change, I can teriibly feel the effect of it, i am living in the southern part of kerala, India, the climatic pattern is changed very badly and too much hot on the beginning of summer season also water level is decreasing so fastly, I don't kw what will be the temp while on mid... So sad

Don’t look up!

If products can be made kosher then there's no reason standards cannot be set for international companies to follow when labeling products.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS A GLOBAL CHALLENGE.

Ie recyclable doesn’t mean you can recycle it wi th your local trash or that it will be reused or that it can degrade in nature it could just mean it has to have a certain system to recycle and 1-30% might only ever be recycled

Brilliant

TNX GOOD

I work in retail and seen first hand how brands have a just 1 or 2 % of “green” products/materials and tout “major” overhauls…feel ashamed

99% of the corporate "greens" in a nutshell

Sustainability is one of these vague meaningless terms they use in their word salad of phrases and could be replaced with good. Sustainability = good.

Saying nuclear power is green and offsetting carbon with trees.

So why wouldn't this show a list of real eco smart companies 🤔

People should just not buy what they don't need.

More BS

The bbc needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants tress

anti-nuclear is a good example

Green washing might be the elusive doorway we've been seeking since creation.

How about we buy local produce. But ppl wanna make it seem they doing there bit for the environment

Okay. Well, that means we need to go back to pre-industrial times, to have any chance of becomihng sustainable. Modernity and sustainability are mutually exclusive.

give them financial incentive....if they green wash they get fined...personally i think if companies like zara h&m unilever etc want to do business in big markets like europe our government need to make it earned to do business here if they do not pay their workers well and if they are polluting said workers drinking water with toxic dies and plastics they are not allowed to do business in europe. not only a form of reparations to the nations that the west has historically undercut and enslaved in some shape or form. Make the multi billion dollar businesses pay to make it right we can use the money to invest in agro forests that will replenish our land for future generations.

IS NOBODY GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW HER NAME IS LITERALLY PARKER SPIDER

i like videos

Yeah I always default to the BBC for ethics... Number 1 for unbiased information!

Well the EU declared Natural Gas to be green energy and exempted luxury yachts from carbon taxes.... so I guess everything is green now.

Green washing sounds like gas lighting 🤔

Regularly scheduled Programing...

In India also you can see the historical change?

There's definitely some stuff to do with green going on? That's for sure!

Company’s think because they donate to the cause it’s a sustainable brand! Rubbish!!!

1:30 the red-black-white code What about all the anti-slavery crap by companies, who then use sweatshop workers? Ask WHY your £100 trainers cost so much when they are made by slave labour in third world countries? Ask why Dyson products cost so much when they are made in China, not the UK?

The state of it...

Saving the planet is an oxymoron. You cant while capatalism and consumerism is rife. Digging up the world, shipping more, making more is not the solution.

It is very important for everyone on this plannet must b greenwashed.. Strive to become nature friendly ..

Yorkshire puddings anyone?

So, like when fat free and organic came out on labels. Fools and money are soon parted. Marketing shams.

what the hell is "gen zee" this is Britain, it's "gen zed"

This piece is why people want the BBC defunded

I work for a global fashion brand. You think they are committed? Ha!

Funny how the Covid shit has passed

Greenwashing is something the Conservatives have used extensively

Is "Green washing" the weird British term for money laundering?

Honble UPA Chairperson Smt Soniagandhi madum please fight for to implement Ballot Paper voting system in next MP elections in 2024and to save democracy in india and public opinion in favour of Ballot Paper voting system and right to vote is fundamental right.public opinion is foundation of democracy

..and Meta-science is treading a path that seems away from standardisation.

Like buying an eco friendly xmas tree chopped in Scandinavia and shipped all the way here so that we can have a bloody tree in our sitting room for 3 weeks or so and block the pavement with the dumb thing for few months after that ....

Who the tf has the time to watch a video this long about a question that you can google and get the answer for in 1 second? It is like them multi millionaire RU-vidrs that just want more $$$

I am watching this segment from America, is this for real? the world has gone bonkers after Covid.

What's bumwashing ?

Good try world economy forum

I doubt they would be against re education training for staff of companies about the environment

. TRUE_MEANING_of "eco", _doesn't_mean: Eco-logic! True_meaning_is: _Eco-nomic!!

Will this compliment my Gay Lesbian Studies course ?

Does God hear or not, no other answer is above it as I understand!

I identify as environmentally friendly and have no carbon footprint.

What is brainwashing? Let's ask our experts at the bbc!

BBC are experts at 'greenwashing'. From volcanoes causing 'climate crisis' to using less environmentally-damaging shampoo when washing your hair the BBC has it covered. But food recipe articles promoting out-of-season-flown-in-by-air fruit and vegetables is OK.

If governments don't enforce, then businesses will get away with the bare minimum and make up the rest

I figured this bullshit out years ago! 😅

Think instead of talking about these definitions for decades... this GenZ?! has been hearing this argument before the millennials were born... the big companies that are profitting from this should set the standard and the little ones shall follow.. Every company has a responsibility "sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Why is BBC copy pasting reports like these?!

This story 12 minutes. The fall of Eastern Europe less than 3 minutes.

Too many people on the planet, simple.

It's like Biden talking about responsibility or Trump talking about leadership, it's bs!
