Environmentalism refers to concerns for environmental protection and improvement. Green marketing promotes environmentally safe products and minimizes negative environmental impacts. It involves product, price, place, and promotion strategies that are sensitive to environmental issues. While green marketing can provide benefits like competitive advantage and new markets, major challenges include unaware customers, customer unwillingness to pay more, and "greenwashing" where companies make false environmental claims. Greenwashing can mislead consumers and regulators and reduce trust in environmental marketing claims. Overall, green marketing aims to preserve the environment for future generations through environmentally friendly products and practices.
