You must be joking.
Quote: "The greenest HUMMER ever conceived, the 02 would never be a candidate for a green washing." WTF
Dude this "car" is the definition of "green washing".
Tell me who's really putting on worthless publicity stunts? :)
Wikipedia says:
Greenwash (a portmanteau of green and whitewash) is a pejorative term that environmentalists and other critics use to describe the activity of giving a positive public image to putatively environmentally unsound practices. The term first arose in the early 1990s (an early use of the word appeared as the title of an article in the 1991 March/April issue of Mother Jones magazine).
Corporations claim that the promotion of free markets policies, new technology and economic growth are essential to promoting sustainable development, and increasingly claim that they are more environmentally aware. Critics, however, claim that there is little evidence transnational corporations are substantially changing their behavior despite their rhetoric; and they claim that many corporations remain the primary creators of environmentally damaging and unsustainable technologies. Greenwashing is thus a deceptive marketing technique only.
