Several major corporations, sensing a lucrative marketing opportunity, attempted to capitalize on the nation's eco-friendly attitude by saturating every single one of their products with dubious claims such as "environmentally safe," "divinely blessed by Mother Nature herself," and everything in between.

I feel that wouldn't do much other than break up the opening's flow. The grammar seems to work fine as is, to be honest.

Why is this an issue for leader as opposed to whoever deals with false advertising? This is exactly what it is, false advertising, something leader wouldn't deal with personally. Unless the issue here is for leader to determine what constitutes a green product. If the later is the case, make this clearer

That's why the last sentence of the description exists. Also, there's an existing issue that doesn't even go that far.

Speaking of which, the last half of the last sentence is really cliché

Agreed.


"They bombed the village, believing it the right thing to do."


That’s different, because you included bombed, an inherently past-tense verb. However, I don’t really have a word to replace it with, so..carry on.
