GREENWASH The drama and the reality

Michael in Greenwash by David Lewis
I have just been scanning through the last seven editions of The Economist newspaper and as always its a very good read. And in these troubled times it is arguably an essential source to inform about what really might be going on in the world. The pointers to todays realities come from The Economists excellent but anonymous correspondents, the letters and especially for the advertisements or at the moment the lack of them. The good news is that the Greenwash ads, which featured strongly in the newspaper until recently, have vanished! A year or so ago, and for some years before that, upmarket print media was full of mostly disingenuous corporate advertising from oil and energy companies with a common theme. In short Shell, BP, Total, Chevron and even ExxonMobil wanted to convince their special publics (as Shell called us) that they were public-spirited companies. In particular the message was that they had a unique contribution to make to the resolution of the worlds energy problems global warming and all that. A common message was that the proof that Shell and the rest really cared was their alleged commitment to not just their traditional oil and gas businesses but also to a whole raft of non-traditional energy initiatives such as renewable forests, solar, wind, hydrogen and the like. It wasnt just former oil company insiders like me who were sceptical of these claims all the NGOs and most of the other proponents of Renewables saw through the chimera and christened it Greenwash.
