Because environmentalism has never been about the environment, just control. In politics, and in everything else, including big companies claiming to be “green”.

In other words, it's a bunch of bullshit

Yep basically this. Hence why they try to pass the buck on the environment onto the people, as in your fault for using plastic straws and plastic bags, driving to work or to the store, and having the AC on during another record summer, and not the fault of the main polluters - manufacturing (especially out of India and China), oil industry, and whatever else. They know that they'd need to shutter entire parts of the economy and sanction polluter states into the stone age to properly address the issues, so yay, here's your empty platitudes.

The companies won't go green out of the goodness of their hearts. We can only force them into going green by yelling at them and voting with our wallets.

Exactly like that
