Keep America Beautiful is the most successful greenwashing organization in the history of the United States. Funded by millions of dollars in corporate money, with one of its founding members being a tobacco company,[1] they have succeeded in shifting the blame for waste products from the companies to individual consumers, all while fighting anti-waste initiatives such as bottle bills. They have hoodwinked environmentalists into believing they are on their side despite ultimately damaging the cause by reducing anti-littering action to mere Sunday school environmentalism. This should serve as a cautionary tale exposing the fallacy of trying to solve a systemic problem with individual action.
