The Green Clean Myth


Just an update :

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission or (ACCC) have found that Water Corp misled the public in its advertising campaigns and online publishing.

The Corporation published claims that the Perth Desalination Plant was carbon neutral, and its total energy requirements were sourced from the Emu Downs Wind Farm near Cervantes, North of Perth.

The ACCC said the statements were misleading and has told Water Corp, not to make similar claims in the future.

It's believed that a public apology is owed, and it's necessary for the ACCC to review various documents and statements. The Water Corporation have said they will look into what needs to be done to comply with the ACCC's recommendations.
.
Telling the truth to the public would be a good start, particularly as tax payers foot the bill for misleading ads!
