Week 5 Discussion: Greenwashing
Discussion posts are typically focused on your experiences or perceptions and thus are graded on the thoughtfulness and completeness of your responses to the prompts. You will not see your classmates’ posts until you post your own original comment. When you respond to your classmates, be sure to address the response prompt associated with the initial post.
Initial Post: Choose one of the following words and define it off the top of your head – don’t look for sources, just explain what it means to you:
-
-
- Vegan
- Green
- Organic
- Eco-conscious
- Natural
- Socially responsible
- Environmentally friendly
- Cruelty-free
-
Describe a way that a company could achieve your definition while still NOT being legitimately sustainable (defined as practices that meet the needs of the present without creating damage for the future).
Responses to 2 classmates: How could you protect yourself from being greenwashed in the way your classmate has described?
(both your original post and the responses to your classmates) are expected to be 100 words each.
