Greenwashing

Description:
For this assignment, students will choose something (a brand, ongoing PR campaign, product, commercial advertisement etc.) and explore the extent to which that brand/product etc. lives up to the messages and images being portrayed in the public’s domain. Ultimately, I want you to rule if it’s a case of greenwashing or not. Greenwashing is the practice of making an unsubstantiated or misleading claim about the environmental benefits of a product, service, technology or company practice. Greenwashing can make a company appear to be more environmentally friendly than it really is.
