Sceptical and Encouraging Arguments

Abstract

Previous chapters should have indicated the vast spectrum of views concerning the advantages, disadvantages, benefits, and drawbacks of green labels. This chapter gives a systematic overview of the main arguments of scepticism and encouragement. The chief purpose of this chapter is to illustrate the multitude of arguments in labelling debates and thereby shed light on the challenging situation for labellers in their translation of complexity into categorical labels. Furthermore, another purpose of the chapter is to give the reader examples of the arguments, to be consulted for reference or to be read through as an ordinary chapter.
