A multi-lesson unit designed for Grades 4-6 (Ages 9-12), Grades 7-8 (Ages 12-14), and Grades 9-12 (Ages 14-18)

How to Spot Greenwashing is a comprehensive lesson sequence that equips students with the critical thinking and digital media literacy skills needed to navigate sustainability claims in the fashion industry and beyond. Through engaging activities, real-world case studies, and key resources, students learn to identify misleading marketing tactics and understand the broader implications of greenwashing. By investigating transparency, misinformation, and fashion certifications, students are empowered to become informed consumers and advocates for sustainable and responsible fashion.

This program will be available for purchase in Fall 2025.

Curriculum Connections

Curriculum connections are intended to help teachers understand how the My Clothes My World Unit and Lesson Plans can help meet curricular expectations and more readily incorporate lessons related to climate change, the environment, and sustainability into their teaching practice.

Curriculum connections are derived from official published curriculum documents for Canadian provinces and territories; teachers in other regions can still use these connections as a guide to identify relevant and effective strategies for integrating climate-focused content into their classrooms, even if they are not directly aligned with their local standards. 

Curriculum Connections coming soon!
