Green retailing is a positive thing. And if the only way the planet can get green is through government coercion or fad exploitation, then so be it. The retail industry should be concerned, however, with how long the public will be fooled by those retailers who are passing out green-colored glasses with one hand and reaching into shoppers’ wallets with the other hand to finance their own green image. Not long enough, I predict. Because already “retailers who care about something besides money” is starting to be the new “green.”
Agree with the comment above. Government enforcement has to be positive. Only then retailers will do something about it.
Interesting news on this from the Sustainable Brands Conference, the EPA would like to start to become the ultimate eco-certification body for companies in the US to start to be able to compete with Europe in the realm of healthy products.
Encouraging and surprising news! They have quite a road to go down before getting there, but that type of leadership is definitely welcome.
Synthetic should be more green like meaty vegetables or something. In that way, it’s still healthy for everyone to eat.
