Climate Activism - Blog Posts
being a disabled environmentalist is hard.
i care so much and i wish i could aim for things like zero waste. but i just cant, doing something like that would be ignoring my health needs.
its quite isolating, because i try to find tips and environmental swaps but often they just arent possible for me to use/do and then i feel guilty for that.
even though i know its not my fault and i cant help it, it just triggers my inner ableism and i blame myself for being this way.
If you care even a little bit about climate change, animal abuse, world hunger, deforestation, human health, the oceans, you really really really need to take a long hard look at what you eat. As much as people donât want to admit it, animal agriculture is killing the environment, animals, and humans, and the longer society refuses to admit it the more damage is going to be done.
Ways to start becoming zero waste
1. Donât go out and buy new products. Even though you think going out and buying a bunch of containers or food bags is a good idea. Its not. You have all this already. Start by going through what you have and how you can use it in multiple ways. Use old containers that have no lids to store things in your cupboard or fridge. Use canvas bags you have received from clothing stores for your shopping bags. You can use a lot of what you already have, you just forgot about them.
2. Always carry a water bottle. This will stop you from buying unnecessary drinks while youâre out and producing more waste. Plus if you have a large enough bottle you can get stores to put their drinks into your bottle instead of using their own takeaway cups.
3. When you start to see your house becoming more zero waste, when you go for your next shop start by making one room in the house zero waste at a time. Maybe work on this per month. Here is a guide i found on pinterest that i think is a great idea.Â
Happy Earth Day!! Tick off your progress of your zero-waste journey! How many do you do already and how many will you be able to do by the end of the year?
Going zero waste is something that everyone adapts to differently according to what they have available, so do what you can, be aware and spread the word!
I wanted to add a link to every product, and I also need to add some other things but if you want to help me out thatâd be great!
People post Greece as an aesthetic whether it's our mythology or our beautiful islands. Now we need you more than ever. Our country is literally burning, we have no help, no resources and new fire fronts are developing each hour and heading towards villages. People and animals are in danger. The fires are not going out and it's windy. Please share this, spread awareness. Greece is always first to send help when other European countries are in need of help. Please share.
Fires burn in the shape of mountains, mere miles from my porch step.
The vegetation cries in red and grey.
My feet in my front yard grass ground themselves there, against the peeking patches of dirt hiding beneath the stiff yellowing blades, as if nature itself is afraid to look at its destruction. I cannot look away.
Our dry seasons get drier, rain will become myth, and water legend. I wonder when it will be my turn to record the destruction, to tell others of what happened to me, and not hear of what happened to others. I wonder if that day will be today.
You werenât there on the mountain
when its last glacier melted,
You werenât there in the river
when itâs water ran empty,
You werenât there by the ocean
when itâs body rested over much of the land.
You didnât watch the dying happen, but nonetheless, it happened. And one sunny day, when the skyscrapers stand hollow, and the cars donât run, and the worldâs heart has beat its last,
You wonât be there.

đś Jane Fonda presented the Oscar for Best Picture wearing a "recycled" dress that she wore 6 years ago for Cannes. It's been years since this woman made the public promise to not buy/wear new clothes as her way to protest against climate change.
