Greenwashing
Greenwashing. Unfortunately, we are forced to learn yet another new term. Conceived by companies and politicians hoping to gaslight (there’s another vocabulary word) us into thinking all is well- and they are helping to improve the world the way they claim.

Bury the lead?
The trick to burying the news is to release it on a holiday or later in the afternoon on a Friday.
