The article chosen was Social Responsibility That Rubs Right Off. One phrase that's said is, "No
matter how hard Volkswagen works to resolve this crisis, the episode is likely to live on in infamy as the latest and perhaps most egregious example of greenwashing." Greenwashing is when a company projects that they're more environmentally than they actually are.
The second phrase is, "Brands, trying to capitalize on that trend [Greenwashing], often try to outdo one another with eco-credentials." Capitalizing on it, meaning make more money off of the idea that they're more eco-friendly than the competition. Swaying potential customers their way.
The final phrase of choice is, "One common form of greenwashing is to simply make a dubious claim without having any proof to back it up." Dubious, meaning it can't be relied on. They make all these claims, but then present nothing to support their claims.
