Podcasts about Greenwashing

Climate is something that we know people care about. It’s something I think a lot of us have anxiety about and feel somewhat helpless around. It’s also not usually the most sexy or humorous topic; but today’s guest has somehow found the ability to interconnect all of those things in her brand new book “Nature’s last dance”. Today we are joined by Natalie Kyriacou! Natalie is an award-winning environmentalist, writer, public speaker, and company director. She was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia and the Forbes 30 Under 30 honour for her services to wildlife and environmental conservation in 2018. Today we wanted to speak about our environmental footprint, some misunderstandings in how we view nature, and whether we are completely f*cked when it comes to climate. But we actually start this chat by Nat telling us that it’s likely the current prime minister thinks she vaginal steams… We chat: Why younger generations seem to be more passionate about climate change and nature destruction The big organisations and systems that point the finger and tell you to use a reusable cup The fashion industry’s impact on our environment Conspicuous consumption - the peacocking of social status Are the damages to our environment too far gone to ‘correct course’? How climate disasters disproportionately affect women What we can all do to help “Greenwashing” and being brand aware Why the price of chocolate is going to skyrocket because of nature Animals and the cute curse The ejaculation helmet Bonobos and their giant clits You can get a copy of Nature’s Last Dance Follow Nat on Instagram Join her on Tiktok You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

The Kristina Farrell Episode: Fighting for Canada's Food System from the InsideIn this episode, hosts Phil and Kenny sit down with Kristina Farrell, CEO of Food & Beverage Canada, to explore the complex world of Canadian food manufacturing policy. Christina, who represents domestic food and beverage manufacturers across the country, breaks down the critical distinction between companies that actually make products in Canada versus those that simply sell here.From her team-of-two operation in Ottawa, Kristina tackles massive challenges including inter-provincial trade barriers, labor shortages, and the ongoing work on Bill C-5. The conversation reveals how 92% of Canada's food manufacturing companies have fewer than 100 employees, yet the industry remains the country's largest manufacturing sector—a fact that often gets overlooked in policy discussions.Kristina shares her journey from government bureaucracy to lobbying, explaining how she became the central coordinator between six provincial food and beverage associations and federal policymakers. The discussion touches on everything from why you've probably had more USDA beef than Alberta beef, to the surprising complexities of calling something "recyclable" under new Competition Act provisions.The hosts and Kristina dig into Canada's tendency to overcomplicate systems that should be straightforward, from food safety standards that vary by province to the challenges of getting recognition for an industry that feeds everyone but struggles to get the political attention given to "sexier" sectors like automotive or mining.Key topics covered:The difference between food manufacturers and CPG companiesInter-provincial trade barriers and Bill C-5Labor challenges in food manufacturingWhy Canada's food system is simultaneously world-class and poorly understood by CanadiansThe role of provincial food and beverage associationsSustainability challenges and greenwashing regulationsThis episode offers an inside look at the people working behind the scenes to keep Canada's food system running, and why understanding these complexities matters for everyone who eats.Find Kristina here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristina-farrell-b09ba549/Thank you to Field Agent Canada for sponsoring the podcast: https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/

In this episode, Chris speaks with Alex Wright-Gladstein, founder & CEO of Sphere, the company behind the Sphere 500 Climate Fund—a low-fee, index-like mutual fund for 401(k)s that excludes fossil fuel companies and is now available on Fidelity and Schwab. Alex explains how her team navigated years of audits, platform approvals, and AUM thresholds to unlock real adoption within the retirement ecosystem—and why crossing $100M AUM is the tipping point that could lead to billions in inflows from the largest corporate 401(k)s.Highlights include...Why most 401(k)s don't offer real climate-friendly fundsHow Sphere built a low-fee (0.07% expense ratio) S&P 500-like fund that screens out fossil fuelsThe 3-year effort to get approved by Fidelity and SchwabWhy $100M AUM unlocks access to the biggest 401(k) plansHow employee movements at Google, Apple, Microsoft create demand for these optionsSphere's go-to-market via creative advocacy campaigns (150M+ views)Business model: starting with low-fee scalability → expanding to higher-margin productsAlex's track record (co-founded Ayar Labs, now $1B+ valuation)2:00 – Alex's background & founding Sphere4:30 – What is the Sphere 500 Climate Fund?6:45 – Why 401(k)s are hard: fees, lawsuits & mutual funds vs ETFs9:40 – Getting onto Fidelity & Schwab: the 3-year process12:10 – AUM milestones: Why $100M matters14:50 – Building demand: Employee movements & advocacy campaigns17:30 – Business model & future fund lineup20:15 – Competitive moat & brand trust23:00 – Market size & exit thoughts (IPO vs M&A) 

Among the recent amendments to Canada's Competition Act are new provisions targeting so-called “greenwashing,” i.e., misleading claims in advertising regarding the environmental benefits of a product. In a related development, the Competition Bureau has issued guidelines concerning its enforcement approach to environmental claims under the new law. What will be the impact of the changes on companies and consumers? In this episode, Alicia Downey and Anora Wang talk to Canadian consumer protection lawyer Candice Kloes about the amendments, the guidelines, and the increased risks and compliance burdens posed by public-facing environmental claims in Canada.

Die Idee klingt clever: Wer Plastik kauft, muss zahlen. Und zwar nicht nur für den Kunststoff selbst, sondern auch dafür, dass er nicht in der Umwelt landet. Plastic Credits heißt das Modell. Mit dem Geld aus diesen Plastik-Zertifikaten sollen Recyclinganlagen und Müllsammelsysteme aufgebaut werden - bevorzugt in Ländern, die besonders unter Plastikmüll leiden. Doch funktioniert das wirklich? Oder ist es nur ein grünes Feigenblatt für Unternehmen? Im Rahmen des UN-Plastikabkommens wird weltweit verhandelt, welche Regeln für solche Modelle gelten sollen. Dieser Podcast klärt, ob Plastic Credits die Plastikflut in der Umwelt wirklich eindämmen können - und welche Regeln dafür nötig sind, damit es kein nutzloses Greenwashing wird.

Is your makeup messing with your hormones? Could your cleaning products be impacting your fertility? And how do we make informed choices without spiraling into fear or perfectionism?  In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine invites us to ask bold questions about the everyday products we use—and the hidden chemicals within them. Joining her is activist and author Lindsay Dahl, who's spent her career fighting for consumer safety and pulling back the curtain on toxic chemicals.

Listen to this episode for ways to save money while supporting your values! Co-hosts Tania and Adriana share what companies they boycott and why, and which alternative companies have ethical practices they support. Many of the companies on our boycott lists have documented labor rights violations or support governments rooted in white supremacy and oppressive systems. Boycotting large corporations has opened new ways for us to reconnect with our local communities such as through mutual aid. It's also a great excuse to find new small family-owned businesses to support. Boycotting is a great technique that has worked for many movements in the past, and it's a great way to hold companies accountable for their practices.Remember: the companies you choose to support should hold your values for community care and equal rights.Resources:Boycott List by BDS MovementBoycott List by Ethical ConsumerAnti-DEI Boycott ListWhy to boycott Chiquita and DoleWhy to boycott NestleAlternative Brands by Ethical Consumer15 Ethical & Sustainable Brands by Sustainably ChicBuyNothingListen to our previous episode “Activism, But Make It Fashionable” for clothing brands we don't and do supportVictory!

From 2009-2015 Volkswagen cheated on emissions tests to convince customers to buy 11 million VW cars they thought burned clean diesel. Kimberley Kinsley says “Dieselgate” was the largest ever case of corporate greenwashing. Also: Big tech companies often boast they're using technologies that can save the planet. But Jesse Goldstein argues that the allure of AI–which requires energy hungry data centers–will lead to more and more excuses for why they have to keep fossil fuels flowing. Later in the show: The can-do innovation that emerged after World War II came to define American identity. In his new book, Every American an Innovator, Matthew Wisnioski traces how that culture of innovation we once celebrated is facing a backlash.

Michael Meindl explains how The Magic School Bus became one of the most successful informal science education initiatives ever.

Everything you've been told about saving the planet is a lie. The green energy movement isn't just failing—it's actively making environmental destruction worse while enriching the same corporate elites who caused the crisis in the first place. This explosive documentary investigation exposes how the environmental movement has been hijacked by forces that have no intention of saving anything except their own profits. We're talking about a massive deception operation that spans decades, involving fake science, manipulated data, and psychological warfare designed to make you feel good about solutions that are actually accelerating planetary destruction. The solar panels, wind farms, and electric vehicles being pushed as salvation are built using child labor, toxic materials, and manufacturing processes that create more environmental damage than the problems they claim to solve. Our comprehensive investigation reveals how environmental organizations have been co-opted by the same billionaires and corporations that profit from endless consumption, how green energy companies are connected to the most polluting industries on Earth, and how the climate movement has become a cover for the largest wealth transfer in human history. Mystery enthusiasts and truth-seekers know that some movements are controlled opposition—and this documentary proves the green energy scam is the ultimate example. From the rare earth mining operations that destroy entire ecosystems to the massive carbon footprints of renewable energy manufacturing, we expose how the environmental movement has become a tool for social control rather than planetary healing. The same forces pushing green energy are the ones suppressing real solutions, silencing genuine environmental scientists, and profiting from the destruction they claim to oppose. We'll reveal connections between environmental organizations and intelligence agencies, how climate data has been systematically manipulated to support predetermined conclusions, and how the green energy industry has become a front for some of the most environmentally destructive operations in human history. This isn't just about corporate greed—it's about using environmental fear to justify massive social and economic control systems. From biomass burning that destroys forests to lithium mining that poisons water supplies, from solar panel graveyards to wind turbine blade landfills, this documentary exposes how the planet of the humans is being systematically destroyed by the very people claiming to save it. The environmental movement didn't fail—it was designed to fail while enriching its controllers. Stream exclusively on Spreaker for uncensored bonus content about suppressed environmental research, or find us on Amazon Music (ask your Alexa about green energy conspiracies), Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and everywhere truth-seekers get their environmental reality checks.

In this episode Warren Ingram invites Chris Rule, Head of Products and Client Solutions at CoreShares 10X, to discuss the evolving themes in the asset management industry, particularly focusing on the concept of investment solutions.

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I sit down with Sangeeta Waldron, a communications professional and author of What Will Your Legacy Be?, to explore how our personal choices and narratives shape the climate fight.We cover a lot of ground. Sangeeta shares how her time in the Himalayas revealed the harsh realities of climate change and sparked her lifelong commitment. We also dig into how indigenous knowledge can fill crucial gaps in scientific data, and how personal actions and systemic change go hand in hand.A standout point for me was Sangeeta's insistence that our climate legacy starts much earlier than we think – as soon as we're old enough to make informed decisions. She also challenges us to rethink the role of media in the climate debate, exposing the risks of misinformation and greenwashing.Another highlight? The idea that hope and optimism, not just grief, can drive climate action. I found this especially relevant in a world flooded with doomsday narratives.We wrap up with a powerful reminder: even small daily actions can add up. As Sangeeta puts it, reconnecting with nature - even briefly - is a simple but potent step.Tune in to hear how storytelling, personal responsibility and collective will can move the needle on climate. And let me know your thoughts, are you seeing the same challenges and solutions in your corner of the climate conversation?Connect with Sangeeta on:LinkedInBlueskyInstagramThreadsSupport the showPodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing supporters: Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Support the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Title: Episode 78: Greenwashing and FSC: Is there a limit to what you can say? Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard Description: Featuring: Trevor Armel, Marketing Director, FSC International and Ana-Maria Băban, Acting Commercial Director, FSC International In this episode of Forest for the Future, we get real about greenwashing—and about how even well-intentioned sustainability claims can fall into murky territory. Loa Worm is joined by Trevor Armel, Marketing Director, FSC International and Ana-Maria Băban, Acting Commercial Director, FSC International, for a candid discussion on what companies can —and can't—say when promoting their work on sustainability in general and on FSC in particural. And then we dive deep into how upcoming EU legislation could shape the rules for everyone. We explore: • What counts as greenwashing vs. honest communication • Why communicating FSC's value can be tricky – even for us • Examples of what companies can and cannot claim publicly about their FSC products • How partnerships with high-impact brands are evaluated • The potential effects of the EU Green Claims Directive and the Empowering Consumers Directive • How FSC is preparing to support certificate holders in navigating this evolving space Whether you're in sustainability, marketing, or certification, this episode provides practical insights on the risks and responsibilities of talking about impact.

Guest: Pamela James, CEO & Founder of Paloma St. JamesIt's no mystery that industrialization has a negative impact on the environment; however, an unexpected contributor is the fashion industry. Recent studies have shown that the production of textiles contributes nearly to 8-10% of global carbon emissions, superseding emissions from the aviation and shipping industries combined. Designer and CEO, Pamela James, joins us today to discuss her take on sustainable fashion and the concept of modularity. We're a society of mass production and overconsumption, but today you'll see that less really is more.

This week, our guest is Dr. Heather Exner-Pirot, a Senior Fellow and Director of Energy, Natural Resources and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Ottawa, a Special Advisor to the Business Council of Canada, and a Research Advisor to the Indigenous Resource Network. Heather has twenty years of experience in Indigenous, Arctic and resource development and governance. She has published on Indigenous economic and resource development, energy security, and politics. Here are some of the questions that Peter and Jackie asked Heather: Does Canada have defense and security issues in the north? Politicians, including our Prime Minister, support Arctic export ports—do you expect to see new export corridors to the north? The Russians ship LNG from the Arctic, so why not Canada? What are your concerns about Prime Minister Mark Carney's climate policy, as outlined in his Liberal leadership and election platforms? What are the issues with Canada's greenwashing rules that were made law about one year ago? How would you recommend Canada move forward with speeding up the development of large projects—should the Impact Assessment Act (Bill C-69) be scrapped or just modified? What are the prospects for deploying small or micro nuclear reactors (SMRs) in the north? What does the future hold for Indigenous equity participation in major projects? Content referenced in this podcast:Northern Corridors: Hype or Hope?

Behind every "planet-positive" product wrapped in plastic lies the fascinating paradox of greenwashing—where marketing promises grow faster than bamboo but stand on foundations about as sturdy as a soggy paper straw. Welcome to the messy jungle of environmental branding, where not everything labeled clean actually is.Greenwashing represents the dangerous intersection where trademark law meets environmental claims. Companies build entire brand identities around sustainability without the substance to back them up. However, regulators worldwide are fighting back. The FTC's Green Guides in the US, the EU's Green Claims Directive, and similar regulations globally are creating serious consequences for hollow eco-promises.The casualties of this crackdown are numerous and notable. Volkswagen's "Clean Diesel" campaign resulted in $30 billion in fines when emissions-cheating devices were discovered. H&M's "Conscious Collection" faced lawsuits for being mostly fast fashion with minimal sustainable materials. Coca-Cola promotes recycling while consistently ranking as the world's top plastic polluter. Even financial giants like Goldman Sachs have paid millions for overstating the sustainability of their ESG funds.The distinction between legitimate certification marks (like Forest Stewardship Council or Energy Star) and self-created eco-labels has become a crucial battleground. When SC Johnson invented its own "GreenList" logo, consumers assumed third-party verification that didn't exist. The resulting lawsuit demonstrates how sustainability can't be fabricated through clever branding alone.For those navigating these green waters, specificity and transparency offer the safest passage. Vague terms like "eco-friendly" invite scrutiny, while precise statements backed by evidence build lasting trust. As trademark lawyers, marketers and entrepreneurs, our challenge is clear: align intellectual property with genuine sustainability, not just environmental aesthetics.Ready to sharpen your eco-radar and spot corporate green shenanigans?
