Is Wildlife Tourism Good or Bad for Animals?
08/28/19 • 63 min
There has been such a proliferation of such terms as "eco-tourism," "wildlife tourism," and "sustainable tourism" that one wonders what is legitimate and what is just greenwashing. But is there such a thing as wildlife tourism; i.e. paying to see wild animals in their homes, without contributing to exploitation, such as going on a safari in Botswana or a mountain gorilla trek in Rwanda? Today's episode answers that question.

Confessions of a Level-5 Zero Waste Vegan
Remember when Lisa Simpson proudly declared to her eco-warrior idol that she was vegetarian? He poo-pooed her. When she said she was thinking of becoming vegan, he haughtily responded that he "doesn't eat anything that casts a shadow" and declared that he was a "Level 5 Vegan." When she said she started an organic compost pile at home, he said, "Just at home? You mean you don't pocket-mulch??" While at one time I was able to identify with poor Lisa, I now fear I've crossed the line. Hear my confession, and take from it what you will.

When Vegans Should Not Use the Word "Vegan"
One of my goals has always been to take the word "vegan" out of the box called "vegan." My goal is constantly thwarted by
*the overuse of the word vegan
*the use of "vegan" to refer to people as well as food
*the attempt by some vegans to narrow the definition and make the word "vegan" refer to every social problem that exists in the world
If you call yourself vegan or have ever been told you can't call yourself vegan, this episode is for you.
