Be on the lookout for greenwashing

You want to shop green, but it's not easy! As more Canadians demand products and services with a reduced environmental impact, some companies have responded with an increased supply of "green" products. But not every product is as "green" as it looks. Along with this increase in "green" products, there has been an increase in false, misleading, or unsuppod environmental claims, which are illegal in Canada. A global review led by the International Consumer Protection and Enforcement Network found that 40% of green claims made online could be misleading consumers. If a company claims a product or service is "green", take a moment to reflect on that claim.
