Have you ever bought a 100% skincare “bio” product, and it turn out to be a clever marketing?

I bet you won't think of buying again for that brand. Will you?

Or, have your eyes ever got caught by an “eco-friendly” garment.

As a conscious consumer, you must have done your quick research. So, you’ve checked the label that crewneck.

Then, boom!! Another disappointing clothing brand. Fake label!

2.Greenwashing is everywhere, here’s how It works.

In a mall, I stepped by a restaurant that claims to serve green/healthy food.

Approached the counter to inquire about any proof. Yes, I did it anyway.

All what the staff had is talk.. “We use bio veggies and sausage”. “We import our ingredients”

Wait. I just heard “import” and prices are quite affordable! Sounded weird.

I asked about the green labels they have. There was nothing that backed up their talks.

You might come across typical situations literally everyday!

The more you become conscious about greenwashing techniques. You'll learn how to spot Them.

Most brands don't realize that Greenwashing is absolutely unethical.

These fluffing businesses are trading your health for revenue. And You don't want to enter bullshit into your body.
