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 / 

• (16:03) How queerness impacts his understanding of the natural world
• (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
