Here is an example of a greenwashed ad.  Why?  Fiji bottled water has a huge carbon footprint shipping water from Fiji to the U.S.  It is quite a stretch to call this product green.

• Find your own example of greenwashing and post it.
• Explain why you think it constitutes greenwashing.
• If you were the CEO, would you have authorized the ad you chose?
• Why or why not?
