		<title>Monthly Undermining Task, February 2010: Time To Break The Ads</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“The peasants, living lives which to us seem indolent and shiftless, are invariably carefree and contented; but, if they are to be citizens of an independent self-governing nation, they must acquire…a new set of wants.”
Greenwash inevitably starts with advertising. The image of desire projected into the mind of a seemingly independent human being makes them [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tesco Goes &#8220;Green&#8221; &#8211; Continues To Sell Crap To The Masses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is classic greenwash. Vintage greenwash, in fact.
Tesco, the British supermarket giant headed by Sir Terry Leahy (knighted for services to corporate power), has announced that one of their 2,360 stores is to become carbon neutral. I assume, obviously, that this carbon neutrality includes the things they sell in the store, rather than just the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 6 Most Half Assed Attempts at Corporate Green Washing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just been sent a link to this cracking semi-serious article on Cracked.com by David at The Good Human. While I would probably balk at being called an insufferable prick (but I suppose it&#8217;s better than being called a Terrorist &#8211; see all these links) I go along with everything else here. Pity they don&#8217;t bother [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alex and Ani Can&#8217;t Resist The Lure Of Disaster Capitalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Disaster Capitalism is the name given to the process by which natural or purposefully contrived human disasters are exploited in order to impose a free-market system upon a population. The most extreme examples are those that have been contrived: these include the 1954 military coup in Guatamala, orchestrated by the CIA at the behest of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Public Eye Awards &#8211; Vote Now For The Worst Greenwasher</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Public Eye Awards (formerly Public Eye on Davos) are a critical counterpoint to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. Organized since 2000 by the Berne Declaration (BD) and Pro Natura (the latter replaced by Greenpeace in 2009), Public Eye reminds the players of the global economy who impact people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Potential Murderers Of Amazonian Tribe Win Survival International Greenwashing Award</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Impinging upon an uncontacted tribe is, by any stretch of the imagination, culturally the most destructive thing it is possible to do: the tribe not only lose their landbase &#8211; the source of everything they need to live &#8211; but they become subject to foreign diseases to which they have no immunity, and their cultural [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monthly Undermining Task, January 2010: The Great TV Turn-Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Out-of-Home impact plus the power of television to a captive audience. Reach 5.8 million monthly Atlantans, commanding attention during the entire ride.&#8221;
You don&#8217;t really notice it, but it&#8217;s there, filling your subconscious with a thousand different messages; broadcasting its commercial dominance to an entrapped population. Television is the primary method by which civilized humans are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Swimming in Natural Gas: The Greenwashing of an Industry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
From COMMON DREAMS, January 4, 2010
There has never been a better moment for natural gas. It is the “other” fossil fuel, touted as a clean alternative to coal and oil. It may be non-renewable, proponents argue, but it is a bridge or transition fuel to a happier future. Not surprisingly, the industry has gone to [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s What You Put In The Bags That Counts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Unless you are, by some remarkable turn of events, completely self-sufficient in food &#8212; which, believe me, I would dearly love to be, except that I live in a society that doesn&#8217;t want me to be &#8212; then you will have to go out and buy stuff from time to time. Today was one such [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Action A Month To Undermine The Greenwashing Industry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s no time for a review of 2009, it&#8217;s happened, we are in deeper shit than we have ever been in, but one of the very few points of light is that the term &#8220;Greenwashing&#8221; has become common currency. It&#8217;s not so easy to greenwash now without being at least identified as a Greenwasher; but [...]]]></description>
