DURATION : 25'25" (frogs til around 27'00") 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."
