Political parties, big oil companies and retailers are all trying to associate themselves with saving rather than exploiting the environment.
Now UK banks - a little late in the day - are trying to get in on the act.
From credit cards to current accounts, new financial products are being launched - all hawking their environmental credentials.
But critics suggest banks are simply dusting off run-of-the-mill financial products and giving them a "greenwash".
They say it is all about shifting product rather than saving the planet. |
What's your take on it?
Barclaycard's Breathe credit card pledges to plough 50% of the profits it makes from Breathe into carbon reduction initiatives. Isn't that a good thing?

That's a great thing. Social and Environmental responsible companies will win the business of the most people as it becomes apparant that eco-destruction is simply not acceptable.
As consumers we all ought to be buying with our morals. |
