The entertainment industry has driven culture and consistently tops itself with spectacle and extravagance. That spectacle comes with environmental costs. Dr. Hunter Vaughan joins the podcast to talk about the nature and history of the harmful environmental impacts of the movie industry, the disproportionate distribution of those impacts in marginalized communities, the role of the consumer in the industry's environmental harms, and the rise of greenwashing.
