What the article was saying is that the government is planning to crackdown on companies who advertise themselves as being environmentally friendly when they really are not.

It's good news.

If this has the potential to stop the advertising I see for companies like Johnson who claim to be a "family company" and with their tv commercial claiming that they use Wind Power to make chemical laden products like Windex - then I say "hell yes"!!!! I scream at the tv every time I see that dang commercial!! If that's not Greenwashing I don't know what is?!

You don't need Windex - use vinegar and water!!!!!

Is basically fraudulent advertising, a crime any way you slice it so good riddance...
