LESSON PREVIEW
ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This Greenwashing ESL Lesson
More companies than ever describe their products as green, natural, clean, sustainable or environmentally friendly. However, these claims are not always supported by meaningful action.
This B1–B2 Greenwashing ESL lesson explores how advertising, packaging, environmental language and selective claims can make a company or product appear more sustainable than it really is. Students learn how greenwashing works and consider why consumers may find misleading environmental marketing difficult to recognize.
The lesson combines an original reading and audio with vocabulary, comprehension, discussion questions and critical-thinking activities. Students use English to discuss advertising, consumer trust, sustainability, corporate responsibility, marketing ethics and how to identify misleading green claims.
