Consider this without a profit seeking bias. Should it be the manufacturers \ retailers responsibility to produce \ sell products that don't pollute the environment (I.e., aiming for best practice), or "the consumers" responsibility to "shop around" for them, & hope they're not being #GreenWashed?

Nutella: Das grüne Märchen von Ferrero
Nicht, dass mich das nun vollkommen überrascht, aber was für ein beschissenes Unternehmen. 😠

I asked work colleagues (aged from early 20s to their 30s, 3 from UK, one from RO and other from ZW) if they had been taught about processing and #refining of #crudeoil during #science lessons at high school during 90s/2000s.
When I was in high school myself, every other science lesson was about it (and a good portion of teaching materials were corporate propaganda from #BP / #Shell)
Only the lady from Zimbabwe had been taught about #oil and #coal (possibly with similar material to my generation!), the chap from Romania (with an interest in cars) did know a bit about it but had not learned in school.
It is not surprising there is limited knowledge of the impacts of #fossilfuel amongst recent generations (ironically, it may even have been #greenwashed out of #education !)

A *backfire effect* occurs when l make the mistake of thinking that the evidence, that logical reasoning, will result in the behaviour change of another person's unethical activities (caused by their associated beliefs), but instead, the person feels threatened (e.g., offended) by the evidence, & "holds" onto their mistaken beliefs.
I.e., l aim to change their minds using the evidence but the opposite happens; due to how the evidence offends them

The simple way to be #greenwashed by others, is to have a general lack of understanding of natural #science https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_science
The #Climate Denier's Playbook: It's The Sun, Stupid
Also features an audio clip of Tucker Carlson lying about the scientific consensus. He lied to the audience by saying that the scientific consensus forecast "cooling" (the opposite of the truth)

The point to consider is that there is only me trying to inform (or rather I used to) the adults in the village about the medical & enviro evidence
But, the industries spread disinfromation on a, well, industrial scale. For example, the local wood fuel businesses post leaflets containing disinformation to local people's addresses. The politcians that many local folk watch on TV talk nonsense. The adverts sell stuff, not inform folk about a product's negative effects

#greenwashed #psychology #ClimateChange
The majority of people are relatively ignorant & arrogant (e.g., hubris) Generally, this is because they're relatively scientifically illiterate, therefore, have not learnt to base their knowledge on evidence. They trust people like them. E.g., politicians & business people with similar agendas as their own.
The #ClimateCrisis is being caused by a peoples that either don't know (ignorant) or & don't care (unethical. E.g., the fossil fuel industry)

I should write something positive about the fact that l live in a culture where many adults know that their behaviours & activities are causing #ClimateChange, but do them anyway 🤬
At least their trying to be happy 🙃 Now l understand the point of having an upside down smiling emoji.
The hardest things to do are the things that they have been #greenwashed to not want to do.
#science generally nurtures wish based believing out of people that then find the"truth" liberating.

I do think many adults are relatively fools & here is why. They act like fools! (a fool can't perceive it)
First a definition. My definition of a fool is when you say "X" is harmful to a person that is doing "X". But the person turns out to be a fool because they simply feel offended & continue to want to do "X" anyway (low curiosity & or immoral)
Greenwashing fools & #greenwashed fools (foolish minds think alike) are causing a #ClimateCrisis
What a foolish mistake!

Coming soon via this #mastodon account.
The definitive guide to the #psychology that is causing the #ClimateCrisis
Spoiler alert! The guide will be a how to feel good by doing good environmental behaviors & activities. And how to even feel good about yourself (an intrinsic good), that other people are evidently wanting to do environmentally harmful behaviors and activities.

l overheard a conversation about the forest fires in #Rhodes. The conversation went like this "well, l hope those fires are put out soon or l will have to cancel our family holiday".
The other person agreed that the forest fires were very inconvenient.
They didn't mention #ClimateChange
Why would they? They want to believe it's someone else's problem. The politicians & industry (advertising) tell them they're dealing with the problem

An ecological catastrophe is already happening, whether folk believe or care about that or not.
For many people: hope, denial, fear & greed regulates what they believe to be real.
The science is clear! Burning Carbon based fuels = hell on Earth (Cause & effect)
Therefore, not burning fuels is part of the solution.
Inhaling air pollution, the byproduct of burning fuels, causes brain damage, cancer, cardiovascular & respiratory diseases.
But, they're #GreenWashed

The Greenwashing & Greenwashed People.
To relate to this article, you will need to understand the world that was portrayed in the Matrix Sci-Fi movie (the first one).
For any readers that haven’t seen the movies, I will do my best to describe the fundamentals of the Matrix world........Continued at https://empiricalperspective.home.blog/2023/05/14/the-greenwashed-people/

CW: Psychology of denial
A thought experiment.
In the film The Matrix, 'Morpheus' offered 'Neo' a choice. To paraphrase, "take the blue pill, wake up in your own bed & believe whatever you want to believe. Take the red pill, & l will show you just how far down the rabbit hole the Matrix goes".
"all I'm offering you is the truth".
The Matrix was AI's method to control the minds of humans, so as to exploit humans for resources.
Which pill would you choose?

Can a government gaslight the people of the country so as to control them?
What if a government was generally funded by & managed by rich business people? (With personal business agendas) What if their business agendas were causing ecological degradation therefore climate change?
Would they simply be honest which would lose them money? (& social power)
Whilst reading the article, consider the #UK #conservative government https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/gaslighting

The #EU Commission has already #greenwashed #gas and #nuclear power. Now airplanes are also to be declared as "sustainable". Just because they use 10 to 20% less fuel? When will the blonde joke figure finally be replaced there?

@inotpigeon this is a tragic political betrayal of #Scotland’s interests by #SNP. But where were the @ScottishGreens Ministers in #ScotGov, who should have been standing this up as a #redLine 🛑 for their continued support for this supine @Thesnp #gov?
#Freeports #greenWashed with a #Green badge are still a race to the bottom in terms of facilitating #corporate #capture and #deregulation of #environment and #workersRights
