Green or naw?

Greenwash, Greenwashing: to claim that something, most likely a product, is sustainable or eco-friendly, when it is not, or it has very few eco-friendly properties or processes.

Greenwashed products typically include body care products, cleaning products, clothing, and sometimes even food.
1) Research the ingredients in the products that you purchase
@oldworldnew
Names of ingredients can be altered to make bad ingredients unrecognizable. Familiarize yourself with toxic ingredients in order to avoid them.
2) Use helpful websites and apps
@oldworldnew
Think Dirty is my favorite app for learning if a product is non-toxic. Websites like EWG, Old World New, and Mindful Mama.
3) Learn from environmental activists and sustainable content creators!
@oldworldnew
Instagram and other social media platforms makes learning easy and community-based when content creators share their knowledge on the platforms!
