[sustran] Shell Nominated for Worst Greenwash / Shell, BRT, carfree and wildlife photos

[Todd Edelman, Green Idea Factory]

In the 'Worst EU Lobby Awards', Royal Dutch Shell has been nominated for 
suggesting that their oil refineries emit flowers, not smoke....but this 
Royal Green Shower of Shell is also dripping down in the form of 
sponsorship of bus rapid transit projects, a conference about carfree 
cities, and wildlife photography contests in  government-run museums...

It is not just about deceptive advertising... it's obviously also 
Greenwash when a multinational corporation which makes USD 26 billion 
profit in one year - in large part due to worldwide personal 
automobilisation - gives just a couple million to sustainable transport 
or other projects, and tries to then pass itself off as a responsible 
company.
