    10. Greenwashed, Gaslit, and Guilty: Eco-Lies 101

    Think that 'eco-friendly' label means you're saving the planet? Think again. In this episode, we rip open the greenwashing playbook, exposing how corporations manipulate our guilt, distract us with fake solutions, and even invented the carbon footprint calculator to shift blame onto individuals. From shadowy lobbying groups to deceptive marketing tactics, we show you how to spot the lies - and why real climate responsibility should never rest on your shopping cart. 💡 Resource: Learn more about John's work here: John Pabon 🎧 Follow The Unhinged Poddy: spotifylink | applepodcastslink | YouTube 💬 Love what you hear?

    9. The Rich Destroy, You Recycle: Let's Talk Class & Climate

    Is going green just another privilege? This episode rips into the class politics of sustainability, exposing how the ultra-wealthy trash the planet while middle-income earners get saddled with eco-guilt and the pressure to 'make good choices.'

    8. Eco-Leadership or Eco-Scapegoating? Glass Cliff in Sustainability

    Is sustainability just another glass cliff dressed in green? In this episode, we uncover how women in eco-leadership roles are often set up to fail - handed impossible goals, and then blamed when corporations miss the mark. From the first Chief Sustainability Officer to today's boardrooms, we ask: is 'green leadership' empowering, or just another trap? Along the way, we dismantle the distraction tactics - like whataboutism - that keep real climate progress off the table. 💡 Resource: Learn more about John's work here: John Pabon 🎧 Follow The Unhinged Poddy: spotifylink | applepodcastslink | YouTube 💬 Love what you hear?

    7. The Gender Tax of Sustainability

    Why does saving the planet feel like a women's unpaid side hustle? In this episode, we call out the myth of personal eco-guilt and unpack how sustainability has been turned into a gendered burden. From recycling bins to carbon footprints, women are pressured to carry the planet's conscience while governments and corporations cash in and shrug off responsibility. Get ready to flip the script: climate justice was never about guilt - it was always about power. 💡 Resource: Learn more about John's work here: John Pabon 🎧 Follow The Unhinged Poddy: spotifylink | applepodcastslink | YouTube 💬 Love what you hear?
