Trick or treat: can you guess which climate actions are worth the hype?

24 Oct 2023
There’s a lot of misinformation out there about what’s “green” and good for the planet. Can you identify the actions that are real treats, or will you fall victim to the tricks, donning a green disguise but lacking true substance? Give it a go…

In a world where greenwashing is running rampant, it's essential to hone our skills in distinguishing genuine environmental efforts from optical illusions.

Can you tell the treats from the tricks?

Buying products labelled as “eco-friendly”, “natural” or “green” is the best choice.

When it comes to food, buying local produce is always the best option.

An energy-efficient home is good for the planet.

Planting trees is one of the best ways to offset carbon.

Recycling is key when it comes to managing our waste.

People in the UK feel confident that the UK is "well prepared" for hotter summers.

If we’re to combat the worst effects of climate change, corporations need to lead the way.

How did you do?

The distinction between treats and tricks in the climate space can be quite tricky. Greenwashing is becoming all too common, and it’s everyone's responsibility to scrutinise the information presented to us, so we can challenge inaccuracies and injustices. It’s true what they say, knowledge is power – it helps us demand better from those in power and guides our day-to-day choices.
