We already have so many things "mis-labeled" that we do not need to add to it. Green is truth. We need things to live, let's at least try and embrace the truth of what that means and do our best at minimizing the footprint with it. If you "green wash" everything it will discredit the movement. I say find the people misusing the term for their product and discredit them. There should be standards. Don't trick the public so they think they are being green and in reality they are not. Let's think about public accountability and not let this happen! I don’t believe we should “green wash” if it means mis-labeling anything.

I don't believe we should "green-wash" to spread the green if it means mis-labeling products as eco-friendly, when they are in truth, not so green. Though I would not be opposed to "green-washing" if it means that a "green lifestyle" is made hip and accessible to the mainstream population at large!
