Holistic Environmentalism + Everyday Sustainability w— @queerbrownvegan Isaias Hernandez
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.

(26:08) “Why does self-care have to be rooted in overconsumption?”
(35:09) “The lifestyle movement has perpetuated perfectionism, which is misleading...”
(39:00) “You probably live sustainably even if you don’t identify those actions as sustainable.”
