SHARON BEDER, "Global Spin: the corporate assault on environmentalism"
Sharon Beder is the author of "Global Spin, the corporate assault on
environmentalism." Today Sharon joins us to discuss the revised edition of
the book which takes a particular look at Greenpeace's involvement in
building the dream of the "green" Olympics.
Sharon Beder maintains that the major environmental crisis that we
currently face is not one of biodiversity loss, or land clearing, but of
corporate domination over what we see, hear, think and believe. Today
Sharon joins Earth Matters to discuss Greenpeace's role in the "green"
Olympics push, the repercussions this has, and the general trends that
environment groups have taken in recent years with regard to "solution"
finding.
IN: "Well I mean basically we have all these =85"
OUT: "=85 membership or their subscriptions up."
DUR: 9'56"
SHORT BREAK
"Will Greenpeace continue to uphold the principles of its founders, or will
it become just another symbolic marketing hook, a subscription sold to
suburban householders to be taken in regular doses as a palliative for
environmental anxiety while they continue their lifestyle as polluting
producers and consumers?"
Given that Greenpeace is seen by so many as being a key element of the
Australian environment movement, I asked Sharon what the responses had been
to her attacks on Greenpeace.=20
IN: "Umm well when I first published =85"
OUT: "=85 running after their tails in a way."
