Greenwashing Culture

Topics include:

• the environmental liabilities involved in digital and print technologies used by cultural institutions and their consumers;
• Hollywood's 'green celebrities' and the immense ecological impact of their jet-setting lifestyles and filmmaking itself;
• high profile sponsorship deals between museums and oil and gas companies, such as BP's sponsorship of Tate Britain;
• radical environmental reform, via citizenship and public policy, illustrated by the actions of Greenpeace against Shell's sponsorship of Lego.

This is a thought-provoking introduction to the harmful impact of greenwashing. It is essential reading for students of cultural studies and environmental studies, and those with an interest in environmental activism.
