Environmentally_Friendly_Products

Environmentally Friendly Products Many advertisements are misleading and untrue. They leave out the important information that consumers need to know about. Many products make 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 starkist, tuna, dolphins, advertisement, true, sent, methane, information, give, friendly, first, find, environmentally, energy, believe, being, website, way, wastes, states, says, purchase, product, policy, out, oil, marine, life, landfill, label, instead, however, fuel, dolphin, consumers, claim
