Toxic Tropes:

Environmentalists in film and TV are often portrayed as the scold, a punchline, a villain, or all three.

About a year ago I started writing about how environmentalists were portrayed in scripted entertainment (here and here). In their new fall issue, Sierra Magazine allowed me to write 1,400 words on the subject for their Critic’s Notebook section.

To that end, I put together some clips to visually demonstrate my point. Enjoy.
