the Earth Sweden took the opportunity to deliver the prize, while she was on her way to a seminar on the same treaty that caused her winning the award. A movie clip with English and Swedish subtitles is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcoV7qIb0jM
Cecilia Malmström and TTIP won the Swedish Greenwash Award 2015
Today, Friends of the Earth Sweden announced the winner of the Swedish Greenwash Award. Of five nominees, the European Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström was voted
winner for her statements about the environment and the Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership (TTIP).
The Swedish Greenwash Award goes out to organizations and politicians for false green
communication. The reason can be everything from lies about environmental work to
communicating small green investments to draw attention away from larger shortcomings.
