WDIP | Summer School: Greenwashing & Social Washing

Welcome to WDIP Summer School. It’s not summer school for those who have failed. It’s summer school for those who want to catch up, and for those who want to get ahead. 

Every two weeks throughout the summer, we’ll look back on lessons learned from Season 3 which was all about making change right where you are.

In class today, we explain “Greenwashing” and “Social Washing”– two ethically similar ideas that are important to understand for anyone who believes that there is a social and moral value in economic life.

We urge you to rewind to Season 3, Episode 2 (March 14): Brewing Change: Labor Organizing at Starbucks to reconnect with the behind-the-scenes story.  Take a listen and subscribe.
