Zero Strategy report today that Business Green have noted that the Advertising Standards Authority (UK) is currently launching an investigation into claims of “greenwashing” amongst advertisers.  “Greenwashing” is process of exaggerating the environmental benefits of a product in order to sell it more “effectively”.

On the back of Danny and Chris leaving SEW to start up SearchEngineLand, Rebecca Lieb is interviewed by Mike MacDonald (WPN) on the future of SEW.
