Stop Saving the Planet?

Does "Every Little Thing" REALLY Stop Climate Change?

Season 1 Episode 2

Recycling, planting trees, and going vegan are just a handful of ways to reduce our carbon footprint. But small individual tasks have little impact when compared to the vast polluting systems that underpin modern society. Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant explores how making individuals responsible for "saving the planet" can be counterproductive to fighting climate change. Based on the book by Jenny Price.
