b'Welcome back to another season of How Do You Like It So Far? Henry and Colin are joined by Sarah McFarland Taylor, an Associate Professor of Religion at Northwestern University and part of their Environmental Policy and Culture Program. Her book, Ecopiety: Green Media and the Dilemma of Environmental Virtue, provides a reality check by researching the intersection of modern-day religious devotion, environmental sensibilities and pop culture as a catalyst for green movements. Taylor questions whether our individualistic behaviors are part of an \\u201cimagined moral economy\\u201d where repeating these acts gives us the feeling of offsetting our destructive behaviors. She weaves current religious populist movements who support President Trump with the opposition of the environmentalist agenda. Positing the importance of pop culture as an engine for the green movement and a reflection of a new religion in the 21st century, Taylor explores the portrays of environmental sin and virtue in mass media. This episode examines civic imagination and the role of mass media in promoting environmental consciousness and reform. Listen in as Taylor scrutinizes the need for broader, far-reaching environmental reform to work in tandem with our own individual practices to create the largest possible impact towards saving the planet.'
