Climate News: The crippling issue of corporate self-control, greenwashing and the confusion and moderation of alcohol

from Climate Conversations · host Robert McLean

Professor Christine Parker (pictured) last month lectured about "Nudge versus Sludge: The Great Greenwashing and the Failure of Corporate Regulation". And then, coincidently, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) carried a story on its Radion National program, Breakfast, in which corporations were "walking both sides of the street" about alcohol control in the story; "Domestic violence experts criticise NRL for partnership with DrinkWise". The Greenpeace 20-minute movie, "Journey for Justice", follows law student and activist Anjali Sharma as she travels across the Pacific on Greenpeace's iconic ship, the Rainbow Warrior, to hear from those most impacted by climate change. The inspiring new documentary by Greenpeace Australia Pacific showcases how powerful activists across the globe are using the law to hold big polluters to account. Finally, we go to The Green Institute to listen to a webinar hosted by Executive Director, Tim Hollo, who talked with Natalie Bennett about her new book, "Change Everything" during an event "Change Everything – Natalie Bennett on her new book on transformative Greens politics, with guest Christine Milne". Although Tim was reluctant to use its name, "Change Everything" was available from the company whose name began with "A" - my digital copy came from "A".
