The masculine urge to drive a pickup truck, with Lucy von Sturmer

from Non-Toxic · host Daniel Penny

This week on Non-toxic we're talking about the state of advertising in the age of the climate crisis with Lucy von Sturmer, greenwashing guru and founder of Creatives for Climate. Lucy charts her journey from fossil fuel hack to climate activist and breaks down how ads continue to tap into the sexual insecurities and desires of men and women to sell them on the idea of sustainability—or undermine it. From electric pickup trucks that won't quit until their payload is delivered to Kim Kardashian's pointy nipple bras that are somehow connected to melted glaciers.⁠Support Non-toxic today.⁠LinksThe forgotten oil ads that told us climate change was nothingFrance outlawed fossil fuel ads.
