If you need a laugh read about corporate giant’s attempts to “go green”

An article Greenwashing So Absurd, It’s Almost Funny would be hilarious if it was not so sad. The article points out twelve attempts by big corporate polluters to go green in an attempt to appease consumers.

• McDonalds Literally Greenwashes its Logo
• “Eco Smart” Hummer
• “Even Our Store Bags are Disposable!”
• Cover the Earth with Toxic Paint
• Fox News + Going Green = ?
• CO2 is Actually Good for the Earth
• Buy Local at Your Neighborhood Citgo
• Eco-Conscious Barbie
• ‘Sustainable’ Iceberg Lodge… In the Desert
• Pure & Natural Disposable Diapers
• Big 3 Auto Executives Drive Hybrids to D.C.
• Exxon-Mobil, Green Company of the Year

The last one has a double absurdity. Forbes Magazine did the anointment of Exxon-Mobil as its green company of the year. Another very un-green company led by Steven Forbes, who is a vocal opponent of climate change.
