136 • Intersectional Environmentalism

136 • Intersectional Environmentalism

DYK the climate crisis ain't a standalone issue, isolated from all else? It is in fact interwoven and intersecting with all areas of our lives and the action we take must reflect that! What does that mean? It means it's really easy to engage with The Green New Deal and intersectional environmentalism on a daily basis. In fact, you're probably already doing it! This episode is part two with Theresa Godin as she dissects On Fire, a book by Naomi Klein about the burning case for a Green New Deal. Jump into episode one here and then get into this one!

The work we're doing is important but what about the kids? Ocean Heroes Alexander and Leo (12 and 10 years old) chat on today's podcast along with Danny Witte of Lonely Whale about the work they are doing to reduce single-use take out containers in their home town, and how you are never too young to start taking action for the planet.

"By no means are straws the biggest threat to ocean health, but we use them as a symbol, as a gateway conversation to the dangers of all plastics."

103 • Symptoms of Climate Change

103 • Symptoms of Climate Change

Extinction of a species? When it comes to symptoms of climate change, that feels serious. This week I’m chatting with Jolyon Collier, founder of Counting Coral, a non-profit organization working tirelessly beneath the waves to restore our coral reefs. We start with the basics, such as what is coral and why is it bleaching before getting into direct actions we can take to help Counting Coral save these stunning marine life habitats, and how reducing our reliance on the meat industry is actually the first step towards the planet’s salvation.

099 • Re-Indigenize + Regenerate Agriculture

Why it’s important and why it’s not a new concept to live in sync with nature rather than at odds with it. today I chat with Kamea Chayne, host of Green Dreamer Podcast, and she goes deep into intersectional environmentalism and reindigenizing the landscape to offer place based solutions to climate change, rather than a one size fits all method.

097 • Decluttering + Mental Health

Today I’m chatting with Sara Brigz of Let That Shit Go, all about decluttering for your mental health! We cover tips for decluttering, how to get rid of things sustainably, ways to discover your values and motivators, and how a tidy room can be a tidy mind. I know for me that the space around me if very often a reflection of how busy, tired, stressed, relaxed or anxious my brain is at any given time, and I can often feel better about my situation by tidying up all the kids toys or laundry or doing the dishes. Well not the dishes, I don’t really do those.. Sara has such great tips today, and it was so lovely to chat with her again. It’s been almost two years since she was first on the show and you’re going to love what she has to share. Let’s go!

095 • Advanced Zero Waste with Polly Barks

Beyond the bubble of our own households beyond the individual actions we talk privilege, climate justice, and community activism, as well as all about Polly’s book More Than a Plastic Bag, which I just got as an ebook and it’s so so helpful and full of action items to help us change the world. If you are BRAND NEW to zero waste, hold up, and swing over to some other episodes like episode 55 zero waste swaps, or episode 19 Random Acts of Green, there’s lots of episodes for those who are just hearing about zero waste for the first time. In today’s chat with Polly we upend a lot of typical zero waste ideals and expand our horizons to take on larger climate action, so if you’re ready to get a little scared but also super charged to do more for the planet in the time we have left, join me in this chat, because it is oh so good. Let’s go!
