You can lather your hair with "chemical-free" shampoo that asserts it was not tested on animals, don bamboo underwear and an organic cotton T-shirt, and use your energy-efficient printer to create a letter on recycled paper with non-toxic ink.
But if buying Earth-friendly products gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling, consider this: An astounding 99.9 per cent of so-called green products make false, misleading or unsubstantiated claims, according to a study last year by TerraChoice Environmental Marketing.
Companies have become so adept at making themselves and their products look more environmentally friendly than they really are, the practice has its own name: greenwashing.
