On April Fool's Day, Earthday Resources for Living Green released the eleventh annual "Don't Be Fooled" report. The report documents misleading advertising by companies polluting the planet.
This year's report names 10 companies, ranging from oil to food companies, which are attempting to create the image of environmental friendliness while diverting attention from their poor environmental track records. "Don't Be Fooled" also contains a brief explanation and history of greenwashing, a look at how organizations like the Federal Trade Commission are combating misleading claims, and easy-to-follow tips for consumers to use when making everyday purchases.
