Environmental group Stand Earth sues FortisBC for alleged "greenwashing" regarding renewable natural gas claims.

Environmental group Stand Earth sues British Columbia's FortisBC, accusing it of "greenwashing" through advertising, claiming the company presents its gas as more environmentally friendly than it is by exaggerating the amount of renewable natural gas in its system. FortisBC's ads focus on renewable natural gas supply as a climate solution, while not mentioning that 90% of the gas in its system is from fossil fuels. The lawsuit alleges that FortisBC is misleading consumers in its advertising.
