    That ONE trick EU bureaucrats hate: After German drug store chain DM lost a lawsuit over the term, they have now switched to using “environmentally neutral” on own-brand products. Although, maybe they’re just waiting for the next lawsuit to be brought against them. (The products so labeled are generally a little bit better than the regular products but they still heavily rely on CO2 compensation.)
