part 5 - intersecting diversity with the environmental movement - economics

Episode 2: Part 5:

The purspose of this show is to be an introduction to next month's (June) theme. The next will be Episode 3.

The purpose of today's show is to critique who is getting sustainable, long term, green employment.  At the same time as recruiting more diversity representation, who is getting paid and able to make a living doing 'conscious' / 'ethical' green work?

Today's show will introduce the concept of green racism and look at this as a systemic process, the case in study will be the organization called "Green Peace". At the same time as having a great name, and promoting the idea to save the world and nature, the people creating the campaigns, decision makers and research paper writers are predominately white while the person's folding envelopes and answering phones is diversity people from employment equity groups.  People of color are also the ones assigned to make fundraising calls and do the degrading work of asking people for money to fund the organization.

Today's show wil interrogate this practice called Green Institutional Racism. What green organizations proposing to be open, diverse and sustainable are practicing this Green Economic Racism?

Let's talk about this green world problem and collectively decide next steps that provide a better solution.
