Greenwashing is the exaggeration of a company's environmental credentials or contributions made to environment. That is, marketing communications that are meant to impress business operations to be better for the environment than they are in reality.

It's also important to realize that the largest polluters and CO2 emitters, by far, are large businesses, manufacturers, and government entities. This is why it's so important to support and vote for legislation that forces these larger entities to be greener, recycle, and reduce their carbon footprint.
