Don't Be Green

Various concerned environmentalists, being fed up with numerous unfounded claims of sustainable responsibility from the likes of local councils and other major employers in the region, are standing up and shouting "we're not that green!". Or rather, "you're not that Green and we aim to expose your claims as myths".

The "radical green voice of Manchester" will use electronic communication methods to raise awareness of greenwash in the area. Their website looks embryonic but we understand they will develop it shortly, particularly in critiquing Manchester City Council's plan to be "the greenest city in Britain", and examining closely how the new "super" University is (or rather isn't) sticking to its environmental statements (and never has... remember Bluebell Woods?). There will also be an opportunity for green minded people working inside public bodies to (anonymously) blow the whistle on their employer to expose greenwashing.
