The Positively Green Podcast Episode 3 - What is greenwashing and how do you avoid it?

Today we’re going to have a conversation all about greenwashing. You may or may not have heard this term used before; and in our opinion it’s something that most people fall victim to when trying to switch to a greener lifestyle!

• What is greenwashing?
• Why it’s so important to learn about ingredients and their safety
• Why you shouldn’t blindly trust labels and packaging
• The dangers of hormone-disrupting ingredients
• Laws about ingredient safety and the term “natural”
• Common signs of greenwashing and terms to look for
• Certified organic vs. non-certified
• Questions to ask yourself to determine if a product/brand is up to your standards
• Times we’ve fallen for greenwashing ourselves
• An actionable step you can take today! Download the Think Dirty app to scan your products or search the Environmental Working Group (EWG)
