ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This Beginner Greenwashing ESL Lesson
Companies often use words such as “green,” “eco” and “recyclable” to make products look better for the planet. But a green image does not always mean a green business.
This A1–A2 lesson uses accessible English to explore greenwashing, recycling, advertising and trust. Students consider how shoppers can tell the difference between a real environmental claim and clever marketing.
Students judge five invented green labels, decide which claims they trust, and create an honest environmental label that must be true, short and easy to check.
