Greenwashing

This event had the theme "greenwashing" and took place on January 20th at 16H in the Campus of Gualtar of the University of Minho.
It was a session open to all students of the university, both local students and international students.
Regarding the number of participants, it had 5 international students.

Regarding the OC, it had a total of 5 people, who helped not only in the preparation of the space but also as a bridge contact with the speakers.
Finally, regarding the speakers for this session, we had António Dinis Marques, professor at the University of Minho and CEO of To-Be-Green.

Information was also given about how polluting the textile industry is and what more sustainable alternatives exist, generating a wave of awareness about how many better choices we can make and have at our disposal.
In addition, themes such as Circular Economy, Fashion Value Chain, and, finally, what is To-Be-Green, how it came about, and what is the goal of
this initiative was also discussed.

This session helped us to understand more about the concept of "greenwashing", and how it goes beyond the materials we used, what we
can do to fight it and also understand it our nowadays.
Was a really important way to think a little more about our choices and how we can make a difference in something so simple as our wardrobe.
