Greenwashing describes a

false, misleading,

or untrue

action or set of claims made by an

organization

about the positive impact that

a company,

product, or service has on the

environment.

The company pretends that its

actions are

environmentally friendly when they

are not. A

common example of greenwashing

is including

buzzwords in product descriptions

such as

‘eco’, ‘sustainable’, or ‘carbon neutral’

while the

organisations responsible for these

‘green’

products have done very little or nothing

to reduce

their carbon footprint.

When buying something new, we

consider

the price,

value, colour, and other factors that

help us make

our final decision. However,

responsible

shopping asks us to look more

deeply than

that. A responsible customer

makes wise

decisions, considering the human

cost,

quality, and low-environmental impact of

the product.

Like all sustainable travel and life

practices,

responsible shopping means doing

research

before buying and rethinking choices

while

looking for more eco-friendly alternatives.

After your talk, please, answer three questions:

3. Which
