Carbon Conscious Consumer Blog

Ever stumbled across an ad or billboard promoting a product as environmentally sound when it’s clearly anything but? And then, after that initial “Oy, seriously?!” moment, wished you could share the humor with someone like-minded? Here’s your chance!

The C3 blog is excited to introduce the Greatest Greenwashers photo contest. Next time you see a shameless attempt at “green” marketing, snap a picture and send it our way! All submissions will be posted on the site, and the winner will receive a travel mug and reusable bag from our friends at Stay Vocal.

Entries should be sent to michele@newdream.org and must be received by March 31 to be considered for the contest.

Here’s one to get the ball rolling. Not only does this ad claim that a water bottle is environmentally friendly because the plastic is recyclable (hmm…), but the ad placement– on the back of a gas guzzling truck– is priceless! What’s not to love? (Click on the picture for a clearer image).
