Dear John,

People all over the world are tapping into their concern for the planet to make lifestyle changes that lessen their dependence on plastics. One result of this widespread ecological awareness is that more people than ever before are asking for products and services that are safer and healthier for humanity and nature. Many companies are responding with new marketing and ways of doing business, such as changing how their products and services are produced, packaged, and offered. But are all of businesses’ new plastic pollution solutions really as “green” as they seem?

Join us April 19, 2023, for a special webinar focusing on the issue of “greenwashing” in the plastics industry—the epidemic of businesses falsely advertising products and initiatives as environmentally safe and friendly when they are not, masking real harm caused to the planet and people. Learn how to avoid the plastic industry’s greenwashing traps to make better, more informed choices from our panel of experts who will provide practical tips on how to identify genuinely sustainable products and companies, and how to spot the most common deceptive tactics used by major corporate polluters to greenwash their products.

We will be joined by George Harding-Rolls, Campaign Manager for Changing Markets Foundation; Sumona Majumdar, Executive Director for Earth Island Institute; and Emma Priestland, Global Corporate Campaigns Coordinator for Break Free From Plastic in a conversation moderated by Shilpi Chhotray, Co-Founder & Executive Director of People Over Plastic.
