I will be up front and say I only listened to the episode about how you do not need to go vegan to be sustainable. I don’t really have an interest in hearing more. I am not a full time vegan and don’t see myself as ever being able to achieve that, but the way this was talked about really just turned me off. As a white woman who is very passionate about being green and sustainable, I understand that it’s not easy for everyone to be that way. The comments about eating meat isn’t bad if you get it from regenerative farms and sustainable sources came across as extremely tone deaf to me and just dripped with privilege. I’m sorry, but not everyone can afford to get grass fed meats and shop at regenerative farms. Not only that, it’s just not available to everyone based on where they live. And we all can’t afford to have our own acreage where we can do it ourselves. I believe the podcast was well intentioned and did have some interesting facts, hence 2 stars, but these women really need to check their privilege at the door. Maybe then it would be more relatable and palatable. Also, I died laughing when tomatoes were said to be viewed equally as chicken in terms of needing to be harvested/killed for human consumption. Come on now.

This podcast is incredibly refreshing to listen to if you want to learn how to actually change your lifestyle into a greener, more socially just one. I learn not only how to make change in my own home but how to make change in my community, nationally, and globally with well informed, actionable steps. Additionally, as an Afro-Indigenous woman, it is really great to know these conversations are being lead in part by a Black woman. Unfortunately racism permeates into every facet of our lives, including climate change and sustainability. Having Suzette in this space makes me feel seen and heard, and I know that theses conversations are not only going to be truthfully complex, but also inclusive as well. Thank you Kelsey and Suzette for creating a space to talk about sustainability the RIGHT way!
