Saabira Chaudhuri and Julia Shaw Environmentl Crime - Taking on the Big Boys
Our world and its future is being manipulated by global corporations and criminal minds. Consumer goods makers have turbocharged their profits convincing us we need disposable plastic and plastic-packaged ultra-processed foods. Journalist Saabira Chaudhuri asks how did plastic take over our lives and why have we been unable to rein it in? The criminal psychologist, Dr Julia Shaw, takes us deep into some of the worst environmental crimes of our time - Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Dieselgate emissions scandal, and the Shuidong wildlife crime syndicate - to reveal the impact of green crimes right to our doorsteps. How can this hold be loosened on our lives?
