queerbrownvegan on Holistic Environmentalism + Everyday Sustainability / Isaias Hernandez
Description
Why does self-care = overconsumption? Isaias Hernandez (aka @queerbrownvegan) discusses the relationship between human and animal injustices, how queerness and diversity are inherent in nature, the danger of perfectionism in the zero-waste movement, and how you may already be practicing conscious consumerism without knowing it.
We also discuss /

- (17:09 ) Nature allows and embraces queer identities
- (21:08 ) How his work today is advocating for the liberation of humans and animals while understanding that not everyone can adapt a plant-based lifestyle
- (26:08 ) “Why is it that self-care has to be rooted in overconsumption?”
- (35:09 ) “The lifestyle movement has perpetuated perfectionism, which is misleading...”
- (39:00 ) “You probably do live sustainably even if you don’t identify those actions as sustainable.”
- (43:53 ) Isaias discusses the climate scale and climate mental health
