This episode of Going Green (a SPACES podcast story) explores the seeds of an ideological shift on the environment born in the 1980s, marked a period of materialism and individualism.

The episode highlights the environmental justice movement, a fight for land reform and preservation of the Amazon rainforest, the founding of the Federalist Society, which aimed to shift the ideological balance of the American legal establishment to the right, and an internal opposition towards the environmental movement within President George H.W. Bush's administration.
