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.
Find out more... don't be scared to kick a gift horse in the mouth:
