The Green Lie

“When you shop with a conscience, you don’t save the world, you save the corporations”. Environmentally friendly electric cars, sustainably produced food products, fair production processes: Hurray! If everything the corporations tell us is true, we can save the world through our purchasing decisions alone! But are the industry's “green products” nothing more than a sales strategy?

Documentary filmmaker Werner Boote shows us, together with environmental expert Kathrin Hartmann, how we can protect ourselves. They banter, they agree to disagree and ultimately bring freshness to a never-ending debate.
