With so much climate disinformation out there, it can be difficult to know what to believe. Tom Spencer, Founder and Editor of IrishEVs.com and Creator of the Irish Greenwashing Awards, helps us examine the challenges associated with communicating environmental topics in an age of information overload. Tom explains the historical context that got us here and how the media landscape has changed. He also discusses strategies to recognize greenwashing and effectively communicate environmental topics with others. Resources discussed in this episode:
