Our socio-economic systems incentivize & prioritize short term profits over the huge, and mostly hidden, costs to our planet—costs that are currently being paid largely by the Global South, but which we’ll all ultimately bear (unless you have a deluxe bunker—I'm looking at you techbroligarchy).

These costs are currently being paid largely by the Global South, but we’ll all ultimately pay the $ (unless you have a deluxe bunker—lookin' at you techbroligarchy). And these same systems contribute to gross inequity, climate impact, social division & unchecked corporate power.

During the interview, I shared insights about how changing our individual shopping behavior is great—and everyone should do this—but to bring about the systems change we desperately need, working together in collective action is key to creating real change. 🌍

A huge thank you to the @WGNNews TV team for amplifying these critical conversations and for giving me the platform to highlight why we need to move beyond surface-level fixes and tackle the root causes of the issues that impact us all.

If you’ve ever questioned why it’s so hard to resist that “Buy Now” button—or wondered what we can do to push back—I’d love for you to watch the segment: https://wgntv.com/video/buy-now-the-shopping-conspiracy/10325096/ as well as the Buy Now documentary: https://www.netflix.com/title/81554996

I'd love to hear from you: What steps are you taking to align your your life choices with your values? How do we shift the balance of power in a way that benefits people and the planet? #ClimateJustice #BuyNow #SystemicChange #WGNInterview #BuyNowFilm #Netflix
