True Colors of the Chemical Revolution

It's ironic that the heavy use of chemicals in agriculture is still being called "green"--and that they, whoever "they" are, get away with it. Since saving the planet seems to be everyone's business now, we're being bombarded by mainstream corporations offering green products and services. There's now even a line of "green weapons," since arms manufacturer BAE recently introduced recyclable explosives and reduced-lead bullets (since, obviously, lead in bullets can pose a risk to people)... But hey, "green" is good, right? Just as "natural" is a sign of quality on the labels of cosmetic products, even when the only natural product in the list of ingredients has been enriched with a host of unpronounceable chemical substances. Chemicals, however, are not green at all, in none of all the shades we know. Just what's the true colour of this Chemical Revolution?
