Eco-Irony

Eco-Friendly Irony
This flyer was found attached to my Telekom Malaysia’s bill in the mail this afternoon. It’s ironic that Panasonic claims to give away eco-products but their supposedly free “eco-products” are refrigerators, washing machines, and air-conditioners?!!! Maybe the staffs over at the company’s promotional department do not know that these “eco-products” are one of the most energy-intensive home appliances no matter how energy-efficient it claims its products to be. Either that or Panasonic Malaysia is trying hard to portray an image of an eco-caring company for all the wrong reasons.

I thought these were solar-powered appliances or some energy-efficient new products…
It’s unfortunate these corporations are exploiting consumers’ empathy towards the environment by running ‘green’ marketing campaigns that are hardly green at all.
