Green Wank

1. When an individual, organization, or political group promotes or implements a seemingly eco-friendly initiative that is more about self-satisfaction or public image than delivering meaningful environmental benefits. Often overlooks practical solutions or creates unintended negative consequences elsewhere.
2. When an individual or group engages in performative or self-indulgent environmental actions that are designed to make them feel good or look virtuous but provide little to no actual environmental benefit.
3. A form of virtue signaling disguised as eco-consciousness.

The Green Party proposing to reduce local sheep farming, even though it’s more sustainable here and the alternative is importing lamb from halfway around the world, is classic Green Wank.
