The bitter reality is that this is far from the truth. The power of advertising is proof of this. In today’s world, it’s impossible to go five minutes without seeing an advertisement that promotes a product that claims to be helping the environment.

The audience may even be unwilling to do some research because they relish the dopamine rush that comes from completing an act they view as altruistic.
