Uncharted Territory

Episode Notes We live in a consumerist society. Our economy operates (and frankly relies) on the fact that all of us are ferocious consumers of products. In this episode we got to sit down with Adam Simone, the founder of Leaf Shave, a razor company that makes shaving sustainable, and I might add has a damn good product. Check out Adam and his razors! https://leafshave.com (If you stay to the end you might get a surprise gift!) This episode is part one of a two-part series on sustainable consumerism!

The demand? Fossil fuel divestment. The target? Well, that’s a bit more complicated. The fossil fuel divestment movement, led by organizations such as Sunrise Movement, Extinction Rebellion, and 350.org, challenges individually focused ideas of climate mitigation by putting the onus on institutions to consider how their financial investments may be fueling the literal and metaphorical fire. Throughout this episode, Vic speaks with two divestment organizers, and one organizer from the recent tuition strike at Columbia University, to explore divestment history, organizing strategy, the efficacy of collective action, and the role of institutions to serve communities... or not. You can read the full list of demands from the Columbia tuition strike in the Tuition Strike Demands Letter. Read the full transcript of this episode. Check out our website!

We’re talking about lots of them - COVID, economic crises, mass shootings, unaffordable healthcare - but not all of them. Climate anxiety is plaguing our generation, and it isn’t only changing the way we see the world, it’s changing who we are. Check out our website!

A generation of environmentalists have grown up with overlapping crises and with the seemingly total breakdown of once unequivocal truths.
