Greenwashing | Non-Toxic Paint

By Mickey Z.

Wanna drive an environmentally responsible car? Simple: Paint it green and call it a "hybrid." By the same logic, Judas Priest has written an eco-classic and Greenland is the world's enviro standard bearer.

If all this sounds ridiculous, well, that's because it is. It's greenwashing. We love it when people and businesses take steps towards less toxic production habits. We don't love it when they paint their environmentally harmful tactics with a green brush.

Join us on the lookout for greenwashing in all its guises.
