The Great Greenwashing

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Saving the planet is big business.

Realising this, savvy companies are hopping on the sustainability bandwagon. Some may have altruistic ends in mind, but most want to make a quick buck. As ethical spending and consumer options increase, greenwashing is not only proliferating—it's also becoming harder to discern.

But how is someone at the supermarket supposed to decipher all this?

In The Great Greenwashing, John Pabon pulls no punches in arming consumers and business professionals with the tools they need to educate themselves, filter out the BS from the truth, and make a positive impact.

Nielsen, and as a consultant with BSR; the world's largest sustainability-focused business network.
