It's a term used by journalists in complete ignorance and product marketing people as a selling tool. It has no meaning or value.

Likewise "green" and "good for the environment".

For example, I claim that "my left testicle is good for the environment because it emits less greenhouse gas than my right one".

As defined by any sellout green movement nowadays; the destruction of the earth, minus emissions.

Just about everything humans do harms the environment; more or less- hence eco-friendly is close to an oxy- moron.
