Is Clorox's GreenWorks line a form of green washing?

Mee Blumenfeld: It's marketing more than anything else.

Darnell Cutliff: I guess we can't know for sure, but I would hope that someone is watching over these places that they are indeed using natural ingredients. I buy the store brand of natural cleaners, I'm saving a lot more money and they aren't any more expensive than my old brands. Amy

Pattie Vold: The best way to tell would be to research the ingredients and how they're made. Or if that is too time consuming, you may want to find a few of the least green ingredients in common usage, and try to avoid products containing them, similar to avoiding high fructose corn syrup in foods.

Boyce Gilhooly: My company only sells green products.We sell lead paint only in shades of green.We paint Hummers green for anyone who truly is into green living. Our company also will paint anyones house green. We also advise out customer that they must keep their lawn green at all costs. To this end our company has come! up with the strongest pesticides available such as DDT which keeps most lawns green without bugs. In my personal life I have a large green Ford Explorer which I spend a lot of green on. It is parked next to my huge green Hummer except when we use it to take our cross country trip around the US and Canada every month. I tried to talk sense into my neighbor to go green but he refuses. It is eembarrassingto have a neighbor with a bright brown Prius next door. I told I am an environmentalist and I did not appreciate someone so uncaring to the environment that he would be driving a brown car. He called me an environmental terrorist and said I was a nut. I will continue my crusade to go green and solve the global warming mess without him. I keep my air conditioner on 24 hours per day with my doors open hoping the cold air goes out and cool the earth. I know my efforts are small but if everyone did just what i am doing the earth would be a better place to live. Thank you...Show ! more

Roselee Mczeal: i really think it is just marketing! . if you read the ingredients, it says: "derived from natural ingredients". basically that means they take a natural ingredient and do whatever they think they need to do by adding things and changing the chemical structure of whatever it is to make the cleaning product. a truly natural cleaning agent is --- VINEGAR- if you can believe it. my mom is a nurse and they use it to clean medicine trays and all sorts of things. but you might be surprised at how many things can be cleaned with vinegar....Show more
