Stop Saving the Planet?
You Can't Shop Your Way Out of Climate Change
Season 1
Episode 3
We have seen a boom in "eco-friendly" products marketed to consumers' concerns about the impact of the stuff we buy. But this "shop 'til you drop" approach doesn’t solve the bigger issue: overconsumption and overproduction are the key drivers of pollution and climate change. Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant looks at how "greenwashed" products might be doing more harm than good. Based on the book by Jenny Price.
