"12 Hilarious Corporate Attempts to Look Green" by Staff, WebEcoist

"Don't be fooled. Hummers and McDonald's aren't "green." Neither are fossil fuels or Fox News, for that matter.

"When companies like Exxon-Mobil and McDonalds think "green," they’re thinking of cash, not the earth. And after all, what matters to unscrupulous marketers isn’t so much the reality of their brand or product, but how the public perceives it – which often results in greenwashing so absurd, it’s almost funny. These 15 examples of extreme greenwashing range from woefully ignorant to downright malicious."

1. Why are they hating on the Sherwin Williams logo?

I like their logo.



Of course, it doesn't hurt that SWP also stands for "Socialist Workers' Party" and the color of the paint being used is RED. :D

3. The most "green" think McD's ever did was getting rid of the clamshell.

The mega-farm cow and chicken "Matrix" that supplies McD's and the other fast food monstrosities is pure evil.

As a company, McD's does one thing that is above and beyond - running the Ronald McDonald houses. I'm not sure how that has survived for so long, but it is a great thing.
