Removed some seemingly irrelevant text

In addition, the political term "linguistic detoxification" describes when, through legislation or other government action, the definitions of toxicity for certain substances are changed, or the name of the substance is changed, so that fewer things fall under a particular classification as toxic. The origin of this phrase has been attributed to environmental activist and author Barry Commoner.^[1]

not sure why this text is in the article or what the relevance is, so took it out for now.

"Examples of greenwashing" section tagged as NPOV

There was a POV tag in this section which referred to the article; I changed it to a section POV, which is presumably what was intended. No comment from me. However, guidelines discourage "drive-by" tagging and say that there should be a discussion. Go ahead ... Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 20:48, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
