The term “greenwashing” refers to deceptive ads that paint a greener picture of one’s image, as compared to actuality. For consumers who are looking for a light green approach to things it may be hard to tell if a company is really living up to its claims of having a neutral carbon footprint. Concerned shoppers need to go beyond the messages they are hearing on TV and look into the practices of the company itself. Do they participate in comprehensive carbon offset, recycling, or community clean-up programs?
Organizations like the FTC are having a hard time keeping up with the growth and the environmentally friendly claims being made by some companies so it is up to the consumer to navigate the truth in most cases. There are many companies out there that are walking the walk, but within the expanding sea of green it takes a bit more insight to locate and support them.

After burning of fossil fuels and deforestation leading to higher carbon dioxide concentrations the next biggest Greenhouse culprits are covered vented landfill emissions, and the newer style of fully vented septic systems.
Sweetfilter Residential Units Reduce
Greenhouse Gas and Odors.
PUTTING GREENHOUSE CARBON BACK INTO THE SOIL.
Only ZeoCarbon Sweetfilters (registered with the USPTO) remove Odor, CO2, and other Greenhouse Gases by as much as 18%, on a lb. per lb. basis. Typically, after 5 years of work, the ZeoCarbon is returned to the soil as a nitrogen rich ornamental plant fertilizer.
It takes up to one year for one tree to fix the CO2 in the equivalent of 3 litres of gas. One septic vent pipe filter can according to calculations be equal to just over five trees (5.33 trees) or one carbon credit. Refilled as needed to stop odor over a 100 year period. It can erase your yearly CO2 footprint completely.
