Plastic Straw Bans and other false solutions

Sunday, 29 January 2023 - 11:00am to 11:30am

 

The sustainability movement likes to tout self-promoted actions of recycling and zero waste, but are these movements possible for everyone? This week we problematise the lack of inclusivity in the sustainability movement for those living with a disability.

 

Speaking with Professor of social inclusion Simon Darcy, Earth Matters looks critically at "Eco Ableism" and where the sustainability model needs to go, to be accessible to all.
