Are some green solutions unhelpful for the environment, or, worse, do they harm it?

Maria Armoudian spoke to Rogers about whether earth-friendly products can save the planet.

Heather Rogers is a journalist and author. She is the author of Green Gone Wrong: How Our Economy Is Undermining the Environmental Revolution.
