THE KITCHEN ACTIVIST

EPISODE SUMMARY

What is at stake with our inaction to stop the causes of climate change? Today the answer comes in the harrowing images from Maui in real-time. What does tomorrow bring? We can change what is happening today with our next food shopping trip.

In this episode, I connect the dots between extreme weather events caused by climate change, the burning of fossil fuels, and our food.   

I offer simple action steps you can take today to align yourself with the solution.

There is power in the collective,
Florencia

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, listeners will hear Jane Fonda speak about her BIG OIL RESISTANCE tour on the Santa Barbara Earth Day Stage. Florencia Ramirez was honored and privileged to introduce this incredible activist dedicated to growing well-being for all. The episode also features the voice of Nalleli Cobo, the recipient of this year's Environmental Hero Award, an honor Ramirez received in 2018.

After listening to this episode, listeners will:

• Be inspired to think of ways to move away from fossil fuels in their homes, food choices, and communities.
• Think twice before voting for elected officials who receive money from big oil companies.
• Stop making excuses about being too busy to volunteer because if Jane Fonda has the time to get involved after filming three movies in the past 12 months, so can we.
• Realize that empowering people—like Jane Fonda’s work to raise wages for tipped workers or lower pregnancy rates among teens—is a form of climate justice activism.

I end the podcast with the following poem written by Rainier Maria Rilke:

Earth, Isn't This What You Want

Earth, isn't this what you want? To arise in us, invisible?
Is it not your dream, to enter us so wholly
there's nothing left outside us to see?
What, if not transformation,
is your deepest purpose? Earth, my love,
I want it too. Believe me,
no more of your springtimes are needed
to win me over—even one flower
is more than enough. Before I was named
I belonged to you. I see no other law
but yours, and know I can trust
the death you will bring.

See, I live. On what?
Childhood and future are equally present.
Sheer abundance of being
floods my heart.
