Greenwash

Greenwash

DefinitionDisinformation disseminated by an organization to pretend they have a environmentally responsible public image, while they can be useful, these sorts of standards are sometimes used quite cynically as corporate greenwash.

• Its just pure lies to make money off the customer, in the modern age Eco friendly products are in high demand so anything that claims to be Eco friendly is a big sell. Sometimes the use of it is pointless because it common sense for something to not be Eco friendly. The companies that Greenwash and are found out make customers lose trust and this can lead to real Eco friendly products not being sold.

Greenwash is basically lying to customers, companies give them selves off as being environmentally friendly but in actual fact they are very harmful to the environment. The companies spend millions to advertise themselves as green and re brand themselves as an Eco friendly company. Some Greenwash is extremely obvious, a power company that uses coal and other nonrenewable resources are obviously not Eco friendly, but company's will try to smear that but using advertising companies saying that they are Eco friendly.

The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini

These are the four book covers used for Christopher Paolini's- The Inheritance Cycle. Created by John Jude Palencar famous for over 100 book covers. The covers are quite simple in concept but the art is very detailed. The style of each Dragon gives you an idea in your head of what you will be imagining while reading the books. Each one uses a simple background, some with what looks like a mountain range to indicate they are flying. The same font is used on each but to keep with the style and little focus points like the R stand out on the covers.
