ecological

adjective eh-koh-LOH-hee-koh Less Common

organic

Usage Note

Ecológico can mean both 'relating to ecology' in a scientific sense and 'environmentally friendly' in everyday speech, where it overlaps with sostenible and verde. In food labelling it often signals 'organic' (productos ecológicos) — the same sense covered by orgánico in Latin America. Agrees in gender and number (dieta ecológica).

Examples

"Compran productos ecológicos en el mercado."

Natural Translation

They buy organic products at the market.
