"Organic cigarettes"...WTF

And I don't believe I ever endorsed clean coal or nuclear energy. In fact, I do the opposite of endorse it. conendorse? inendorse? not endorse.

I think the ad was more about how companies try to brainwash people by suggesting their product is 'green,' and how they are just using terms like that to make sales. The point of it was to point out the hypocrisy and lies of the companies that mislead people to think they are being economically useful.

"A total of 1,753 environmental claims made, with some products having more than one, and out of the 1,018 studied only one was found not guilty of making a false or misleading green marketing claim."

I didn't accuse you of supporting anything?

Also...what's your displeasure with 'organic cigarettes'? They are made of tobacco, which is made from the dried out leaves of a plant. Sound familiar (TEA)? Cigarettes are organic by nature, its when you involve the filter (cotton), the paper (trees), wrap it in a box (cardboard), and then wrap that in plastic (boooooo plastic) that it becomes...inorganic?



-denounce?
-reject?

i like inendorse haha

inendorse.

well for one, cigs are stupid in the first place. two, organic my butt. the show weeds has a character who is devoutly christian and sells weed because "God made it." ok.

and i agree with companies wanting to market their products as green in order to sell but i was just iterating that clean coal is retarded. we learned about clean coal in my energy class and there is nothing "clean" about it.
