Greenwashing is a challenging emerging trend in sustainable finance and business
Most people know what whitewashing is. For example, a government oversight agency investigates a powerful politician and writes up a damaging report or article. But then the affected politician pulls some strings, calls in some favors, and the report “gets whitewashed.” In other words, even though the investigation yielded unfavorable information, the politician can skate away clean because all the worst parts of the document were conveniently altered or deleted. A modern version of whitewashing that has emerged recently is called “greenwashing.”

Stop, Shop, and Roll
Believe it or not, that forgotten fish at the back of your fridge has far worse potential than just food poisoning. It may seem like you’re only hurting your own wallet, but in the big scheme of things, throwing away excess food doesn’t just waste money; it wastes precious commodities like water and seeds, as well as the time and energy used to transport and process it. These irreplaceable resources are used up, only to be sent to a landfill, where the food rots, producing methane gas and ultimately contributing to climate change.
