    Untold Stories of the Circular Economy

    On this episode of Establish, our host Mars Moreira speaks with sustainable business expert Tamara Shulman on all things circular economy. The circular economy, as Tamara explains, prioritizes reusability and regeneration of products at the end of their life. Instead of throwing a ripped t-shirt in the trash, a circular economy approach would find ways to reuse all the scraps in the fabric. Tamara also describes that instances of circular economy are actually more common than we may think. Tune in and hear a great conversation between Mars and Tamara to hear all about this system fits into the climate activism space.

    Composting Complexity: Stamina for Decolonization

    In this episode of Establish, we will bring you Latinx voices to talk about their experience migrating to Canada, realizing the nature of a country built as an extractive project and struggling with what we know as “modernity” as we strive for climate action. How can we bring a critical view on our dissatisfaction with current systems in a way that can use existing privileges to help create something new? What are some perspectives for a future different from ‘modernity’? Today Azul will join us to talk about the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures collective, understand how to compost our “shit” and sit with complexity as we navigate these questions.

    Climate Conversations: Youth Leaders from Coast to Coast

    In the news and on social media, we very often hear about the environmental and social impacts of climate change in the so-called provinces of British Columbia and Ontario and the activism that is happening there around these issues. But what about other provinces and territories? What kind of work is happening in those places that aren’t receiving media attention? There are so many youth doing amazing things across the whole country. In this episode, we want to highlight 2 youth climate activists from 2 different provinces in what is currently Canada; stay tuned for a third perspective in part 2! Listen to Annie Martel (Manitoba) and Ella Kim Marriot (Alberta) discuss ways their provinces are being impacted by climate change, what’s being done to adapt to these changes, and how youth are getting involved.

Integrated alongside topics of social justice, we’ll also be featuring a range of issues related to climate change, environmental degradation, and politics. 🤍 This episode aligns with our Just Transition virtual ALC module that you can view on the Righting History website (https://www.rightinghistory.ca/).
