Episode 25: Eco-Ableism
Manage episode 289986388 series 1424776
In this episode of You First, let's talk about saving the planet! We can fight climate change by eliminating all single-use plastics and walking to get where you need to go – that will save us all! But will it? Or does thinking like that make you an eco-ableist by not considering the needs of people with disabilities?
Our first guest is Elizabeth Wright, a writer, activist, keynote and TEDx speaker, and an Australian Paralympic Medalist. She is also the founder and editor of Conscious Being, a publication for disabled women by disabled women, and the editor of Disability Review Magazine. Liz gives us a global perspective on disability and climate change, and explains why people with disabilities need a seat at the table to help us think more creatively when planning how to combat it.
Our second guest is writer and activist Syren Nagakyrie. They are the founder and director of Disabled Hikers, which advocates for accessibility and inclusion in the outdoors. Syren explains why the outdoors are not always as accessible as you might think and how they are working to change that for people with disabilities.
