Despite the huge rise in environmentally friendly marketing, most ‘green’ products on the market are not actually better for the environment at all. Unfortunately, greener advertising doesn´t mean a greener product or a greener business. As a result of high consumer demand for environmentally friendly products, many companies have simply taken the opportunity to change their marketing strategies and update their packaging to mislead customers into thinking their goods are better for the environment. This practice has become so common that a name has been given to it: greenwashing. (----1----) So, how do you know you’re really shopping responsibly? Here are our top tips. Firstly, beware of green buzz words and slogans. We are often reassured by buzz words such as ‘natural’, ‘green’, and ‘organic’. But should we be? Even if a product makes these claims, there could be harmful chemicals hiding amongst the ‘good’ ones. A face cream may contain 98% natural organic ingredients but what about the remaining 2%? Another example is ‘vegan leather’. (----2----) Therefore it is just as harmful, if not worse, for the environment. Sadly, this practice of advertising the environmentally friendliness of certain ingredients of products while ignoring the larger environmental cost is all too common. A classic example is soya. Food companies have become aware of consumers’ concerns about the Amazon Rainforest being cleared to raise cattle. So, in response they are encouraging us all to ‘go vegan’ to ‘save the planet’. This boost sales of the companies’ new soya-based products and makes millions for them. (----3----) Another example is organic cotton. The good news? Your new t-shirt is organic. The bad news? It took 2,500 litres of water to make, it has been shipped tens of thousands of miles, and fast fashion creates vast amounts of landfill! Another thing to watch out for is irrelevant claims. These often appear on the labels of beauty products which claim to be ‘paraben and cruelty free’ – that sounds brilliant until you realize it is irrelevant. Of course, they are – the EU banned harmful parabens and animal testing some time ago! Now we come to perhaps the most obvious greenwashing trick. We look at certain adverts, labels, or packaging, and we see ‘green’ because the designers want us to. Who could fail to be convinced by those stunning images of forests, crystal clear rivers, and nature? The product doesn’t need to claim to be environmentally friendly because the images do all the

work. (----4----) Nor does adding the affixes ‘Green’, ‘Eco’, ‘Bio’, or ‘Enviro’ to a brand name. So how do you see through all this greenwashing? (----5----) So the only way to know whether the product you are buying is green is to check the details on the label very carefully. If the product has been checked and certified by a recognized organization such as The Soil Association, FSC (for paper and wood), or EcoCert, then it is. Don’t be fooled –

A However, the main issue is that most people find ‘green’ products just too expensive. B It is very difficult to spot greenwashing because we are constantly surrounded by clever advertising. C Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much being done at the moment to prevent it. D However, what most people don’t realize is that the Amazon is actually being cleared to grow soya almost as quickly as it is for the beef industry. E Although it is frequently advertised as an environmentally friendly alternative to leather, it is essentially just plastic. F But just because there’s beautiful scenery on the label doesn’t mean the company cares about its impact on the environment. Reading total 10
