Man, some of the Orlando, Florida area Restaurants waste so much food it is ridiculous. Just think about how many homeless people could be fed with the food that is just wasted. Many Americans are all about themselves and do not care. It is refreshing to see blogs such as this one used for a positive cause.

And this is the fourth part. Well, I agree with Jimmy, Tom! Going green properly takes time, money and dedication.

And lastly, thank you for taking the time to write the four parts of your “Greener Shade of Greenwash.” This actually gives me a good reference.

Greenwashing is a major problem today. Being green is not financially beneficial for a company’s bottom line. “Going green” properly takes time, money and dedication. It is up to us consumers to point out when a company greenwashes in order to stop their fraud!

Making everything green is good if it is beneficial and eco friendly to others. But it is a big surprise that why our National Restaurant Association (NRA) endorsed Green Wallace wash as a” greener restaurant”. Is it not something unfair on NRA to cheat common people just for the sake of getting money? I feel really disappointed and frustrated by NRA’s motto. Without benchmark standards and without meeting the legitimate policies selling products or endorsing products is illegal. NRA might know that they are showing disloyalty but I am startled that why they are doing such crap shit things just to say “we are turning everything green”.

Many big businesses see the “Green Movement” as a fad in which they can quickly cash in on consumers who are willing to pay money for a better cause. While some of these companies or organization looks like they are trying to do the right thing on the service following the money will show their true colors.

Great insight. NRA was at a local restaurant convention signing companies up “sight unseen.” I wonder why you haven’t gone after gbb.org for doing the very same thing? This is the most bold Greenwashing company on the internet.

I’m glad that blog like this is promoting for being green. Having a green environment can really help us for having a fresh air and helps to prevent flood. We should act now and not wait until it get worst.
