Michael explains why this myth persists, including some of the history behind the living-green myth. They also discuss strategies to think beyond our individual lifestyle choices to make real change, including Michael's list of seven new living-green ideas to help you make a difference.   Michael Maniates is a former Professor of Social Science and former Chair of Environmental Studies at Yale-NUS College in Singapore. His teaching, research, and writing have focused broadly on environmental politics, sustainable consumption, and oppositional forces to transformative environmental governance.  He has authored or co-authored five books and dozens of articles, opinion pieces, book chapters, and review essays. His recent work explored systems of sustainable consumption and production, social innovations for a low-growth/high-prosperity world, and the pitfalls and promise of conscientious consumption.Rethinking Growth Part 4: Higher Education (original conversation with Michael Maniates)","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/-xh76_agK2B6XbYNwbMCjUFsMbQiYJA7Q0eWmDqrJK0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI0Njk5LzE2MzQ5/MjUxNjktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
