Pamela shares a story with us today from a young woman she met in Port Douglas, Queensland:<\/p>\n

[She] “shared tales about the Curlew, a bird with a call that sound like a woman screaming. In the [country’s] early years…explorers thought someone was in danger. [She] relayed a story about a Curlew bird at the wildlife habitat that walked close behind her, but then saw her boyfriend and started to follow him. They were going in opposite directions [, she and her boyfriend,] and the little bird became quite confused. Whom should it follow?<\/p>\n

We act similarly when new information comes out about how to live greener or more sustainably- We don’t know who to follow or believe. We need to stop and look more closely to see if what we think we see is accurate, or just a lot of greenwashing. There is no consistent, agreed upon or understandable definition of green or sustainable-  No wonder the market is so confusing for people! Perhaps the next step is to take some of the confusion out of green.”<\/p>\n
