What does the “The greenwashing ZEvent” meme mean?

It expresses skepticism towards clumsy or controversial eco-friendly marketing campaigns. The format is used to criticize initiatives discredited by facts, leading to partner changes. It highlights the power of online communities to influence organizational decisions regarding environmental credibility.

Where does the “The greenwashing ZEvent” meme come from?

The phenomenon stems directly from the controversy surrounding ZEvent 2022, a major fundraising event in French-speaking streaming organized from September 8 to 11, 2022. Initially, the GoodPlanet Foundation was selected as the sole beneficiary. However, internet users and streamers denounced practices deemed contradictory to ecology, labeling the entity as engaging in 'greenwashing'. Facing these intense criticisms, the foundation announced its withdrawal in July 2022. The organizers then decided to distribute the collected sum, exceeding ten million euros, among five different structures: Sea Shepherd France, the League for the Protection of Birds, WWF France, The SeaCleaners, and Time for the Planet. This forced redistribution became a symbol of the online community's ability to influence institutional choices amidst environmental accusations.
