What are some greenwashing examples in your everyday life?
I've been noticing greenwashing everywhere lately and wrote about it here: https://olek.works/notes/greenwashing-everywhere/<p>A few examples that stood out to me:<p>Online grocery stores that proudly email receipts instead of printing them—but force you to buy new plastic/paper bags with every delivery instead of offering reusable crates for regular customers.<p>"100% recycled plastic" bottles that conveniently don't mention plastic degrades with each recycling cycle and ends up in landfills after a few rounds anyway.<p>Budget airlines that ask passengers to dispose of trash to "help the environment"—while selling everything in single-use plastic and generating dozens of enormous garbage bags per flight. They've just outsourced the guilt.<p>Once you start seeing it, it's everywhere.<p>What greenwashing examples have you noticed? I'm collecting them to build a library in the post. Share yours—the more specific, the better. Bonus points for the subtle ones that most people miss.
