Many advertisements are misleading and untrue.
They leave out the important information that.
claims to be environmentally friendly. More often.
than not this catches the attention of the.
consumer. What the advertisement says may very.
well be true, however, it may leave out important.
details.
My first product that made a claim suggesting.
it is environmentally friendly is Starkist tuna. .
On the label it has a picture of a dolphin and.
underneath it says "dolphin safe". This would.
suggest that no dolphins were harmed in the making.
of their tuna. The label does not give any specific.
information stating how they are protecting these.
animals. Starkist expects the consumers to believe.
that no dolphins were effected.
I did not want to jump to that conclusion, so I.
visited the Starkist website. The dolphin-safe.
policy they have aquired states that Starkist will.
not purchase any tuna caught in association with.
dolphins. "Starkist continues its practice of.
refusing to purchase tuna caught with gill or drift.
nets, which are known to be dangerous to many forms.
of marine life. Starkist condemns the use of these.
indiscriminate fishing methods that trap dolphins,.
whales, and other marine life along with the.
intented catch of fish (Starkist np)." The website.
also states that Starkist was the first major tuna.
compnay to adopt this policy. I believe their.
claim to be true, because if it wasn't, why would.
they be among the first to reconize the problem?.
My second advertisement is for Waste.
Management. The purpose of this ad is to inform.
people that the wastes they are producing can be.
used to fuel their homes. When your garbage is.
sent to a landfill, energy in the form of methane.
is released. "Methane is a clean-burning fuel,.
that can be used instead of wasting our oil.
supply.".
I believe this is a true environmentally.
friendly advertisement. Unless we can find a.
better way to eliminate wastes, besides being sent.
to a landfill, the energy produced their should be.
