Make Trouble and Change the World, with Steve Warshal

from GoodGeist · host DNS

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Greenpeace veteran Steve Warshal to hear how bold actions, smart science, and sharp strategy turn radical ideas into real‑world results. Steve takes us inside the environment movement’s highs and lows, the cramped rooms where direct actions were weighed, and the quiet moments where patient resilience mattered more than headlines.We talk about why legislation is the true endgame, how corporate “fear and greed” can be harnessed for climate progress, and what happened when Greenpeace launched a business‑facing newsletter that reframed sustainability as competitive advantage. Along the way, we revisit campaigns against CFCs, the Brent Spar showdown with Shell, PVC phase‑outs that centred human health, and the long road to a global oceans treaty. Listen in for amazing insights from someone who has been there for some of the most iconic campaign moments of the last 40 years. Follow GoodGeist for more episodes on sustainability, communications and how creativity can help make the world a better place.
