ENG - In this first english speaking episode, I want to show a global approach to the climate crisis, starting with my experiences, and the mental process I followed during this first year of my sustainable life. You can check my IG account, @bein_begreen! Enjoy! Because everything started with zero waste for me, although zero waste soon became too limited.
Because today is the official first birthday of my sustainable life.
Because from zero waste, I opened a door from which I now know I’ll never come back.
This is an important post, on an important day, with an important message which can be heard in the new episode of The IMperfect Green Girl, available as a link in my bio, and on all main platforms such as Spotify, Google Podcast, RadioPublic and Spreaker.
Click, sit comfortably, and listen.
And let me know, as usual, what you think about it.

I just would like to report these 2 extracts from an interview for Vox, by Jane Coaston to on Kimberlé Crenshaw, that I highly recommend you to read, about ‘Intersectionality’.
“It was coined in 1989 by professor Kimberlé Crenshaw to describe how race, class, gender, and other individual characteristics “intersect” with one another and overlap.
“Intersectionality” has, in a sense, gone viral over the past half-decade, resulting in a backlash from the right."
(…)
“The point of intersectionality is to make room “for more advocacy and remedial practices” to create a more egalitarian system.”

And a definition (or interpretation) from the Cambridge Dictionary for Intersectionality:
"The way in which different types of discrimination (= unfair treatment because of a person's sex, race, etc.) are linked to and affect each other."
Special thanks to Michela, from @ibringmyownbottle, who introduced me to this word: thank you my friend for being such an inspiration to me.
And to Nathaniel, from @bcebrowncowenglish, my super english teacher: thank you for your patience and your flexibility towards all the ideas which grow in my mind!
