Using Misleading Advertising to Protect the Earth -- and Other Tricks of the Trade

February 5, 2025, 9:30 am to 10:30 pm

Virtual

In this talk Calvin Sandborn, KC, will review the history of corporate greenwashing advertisements and their role in sabotaging climate action and other environmental protection.  He will discuss how law students initiated the landmark Keurig coffee pod decision, played a key role in lobbying for new Competition Act greenwashing rules, and, can now use diverse consumer protection actions to protect the earth. 

Time permitting, he will also talk about other notable successes of UVic Environmental Law Centre students in recent years.
