Join us today to learn about sustainable marketing and greenwashing.

The term greenwashing was first used in the mid-80’s. Greenwashing is when a company or organization spends more time and money on marketing themselves as environmentally friendly than on minimizing their environmental impact. This marketing trick may cause sustainable businesses to understate their practices while unsustainable businesses exaggerate them.
