Useless article
This article is titled "environmentally friently". All regulators and standards organizations recommend NOT using this vague term. It is only used (and abused) in advertising. Should this article be deleted? Rlsheehan (talk) 20:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If we are to keep this article, it should be limited to the first sections that discuss the limitations of the term "ennvironmentally friendly". The Methods section tries to add validity to a term already invalidated. I have thus removed Methods. Rlsheehan (talk) 14:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Very interesting point you bring up here, Rlsheehan. Do you have a source for this info that it is not recommended to use? I am trying to improve the quality of the eco-friendly dentistry page. It is very hard to write about it in a neutral point of view, and I would like to establish context for the term. --Asktheboh96 (talk) 12:50, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Trying to make our world a better place!!!

This is an important term and Environmentally friendly should be kept. It is important that people know it is an intentionally misused term and it is a form of Greenwashing. It should not be deleted. Rhstafursky (talk) 13:55, 22 February 2015 (UTC)


 * The US Federal Trade Commission has a good discussion of terms used (and misused) regarding environmental claims.

Oceania Addtion
The information is pretty outdated an bare and there are now more articles on the topic, so it should be easy to add some additional information. The current sections consists of only two sentence and is backed up with four sources. Halfrated (talk) 15:44, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

What?
Question to the assignees: What do you personally think you added in terms of "environmental friendliness"? I'll tell you my impression: Almost nothing at all. Simply listing the environmental problems in the global regions and repeating words doesn't cut it. The overall result is, frankly, not good. Wonder what your supervisor had to say about this. -- Kku (talk) 17:00, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
