October 29 at 6:16 AMI always feel a little odd answering a question like this specifically for one group; it's hard I think to talk about justice for one group when everyone is oppressed in the US, and that's furthered by the fact that every systemic issue we have (wealth inequality, climate collapse, criminal justice, etc.) impacts marginalized groups more...

October 28 at 2:03 PMI started running outside recently which gives a chance to spend time in nature and have also been hiking a lot more. It's tough spending so much time at home due to Covid so it's good to spend time outside as much as possible.

October 28 at 2:02 PMWe are past the point of no return when it comes to climate change, we can only mitigate the impacts but we need the political will to do so. The more people that act locally to improve the planet, the bigger the impact will be globally so I try to do my part as much as possible in my community.
-
October 28 at 2:00 PMI learned about how messed up the criminal justice system is in this country and how targeted black people are because of policy that was put in place decades ago. This is related to environmental justice issues where we see black people who are disproportionately impacted by pollution and other environmental issues. The deck is stacked...

October 28 at 11:42 AMI think it’s a complicated question. I live on a street that is very diverse economically as well as racially, and I feel that we have a pretty strong sense of community in a sense. We all complain about each other, but when something happens, we all come together to help.

October 28 at 11:37 AMI think I’ve become more forgiving all around, and hopefully I will continue to go further. I think it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the climate crisis, and therefore harder to see accomplishments that are happening. While doing that, you kinda forgot how some environmental accomplishments are huge. So I think by nurturing self compassion, it...

October 28 at 9:54 AMAdmittedly I cheated a bit here, as sometimes I considered this activity being accomplished as I was exercising. That said, I did purposefully try to get 20 minutes a day, either through reading (not on a screen!), play games with the kids, or other outdoor activities. It's hard to do...looking at your screen is so automatic nowadays, that it...

October 28 at 9:52 AMIts always easier for me to think locally, as I grew up in the Chesapeake watershed, so I've been careful about dumping anything (turpentine in art classes or oil from car maintenance) down drains. To me, I think the biggest thing you can do is assume anything will ultimately get back into the water system. If you keep this in mind, it makes...

October 26 at 10:50 AMI can tell when I am eating well because I feel well.
-
October 26 at 5:06 AMRicher countries have more access to cheap meat because the farm industry is highly subsidized. The more meat, especially from cows, increases the methane in the atmosphere which is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 causing more climate change impacts.
