Here’s a lovely bit of greenwashing. So you take a dollop of tar sands oil, mix in a dash of food, and you end up with “Mother Nature’s Fuel,” as Husky calls its ethanol-blended gasoline. It sounds so clean and wholesome.

I'm from the government, and I'm here to…
…expropriate your farm, board up your house, and let much of your land lie fallow while we spend 40 years trying to justify building a huge and unnecessary airport on prime agricultural and ecologically sensitive land. Um, I mean, I’m from the government and I’m here to preserve your green space.
(Doublespeak at its finest, as seen on the site of the still-on-the-books Pickering airport.)
Greenwashing
This is just about the most egregious example of greenwashing I’ve seen. Fifteen per cent less plastic is still 85% too much.
Interestingly, Nestlé’s advertising in the U.S. claims that the bottle contains 30% less plastic, which I suppose is an example of greenwashing even more egregious than the Canadian claims.
