I've been in the plastics industry for a few years now and I see a lot of greenwashing going on. I would say that over the past year or so, they have scaled back their attemtps to market it as.

As a concerned mom, and 22 year environmental and health journalist, I am never surprised at the gullible nature of mainstream folks around products touted as eco-friendly. Two of my big concerns are with regard to carpeting made from recycled bottles, and yes, the ever so green compact florescent bulb. What isn't being talked about is the possible hazardous effects both of these products might truly have on ones health and the environment. When asked, many people don't even know that a CFL bulb should not be thrown away in the trash due to it's toxic nature. Thanks for bringing this important subject to the attention of the public.

To allow companies to make false claims in this area only serves to convince people that everything is all right and nothing more needs to be done - that approach won't solve the serious problems that our planet faces.
