Profile
Having been born and raised in a small town that’s rarely on the map and hadn’t heard of cable until last year, Katie Kish was practically forced to spend most of her childhood cavorting outside, exploring fields, rivers and the surrounding pseudo-forests. Her teen-years veered her towards the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario where she would become strongly grounded in her environmentalist views, although at the same time fall in love with city life. This was also the time in her life when she started her wicked rock collection.
Katie’s interest in environmental policy and philosophy has now led her into her second year of her undergraduate study in political science and philosophy at the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario. In her spare time she does some documentary work at a couple local radio stations and is the multi-media director for the Center of Inquiry - Ontario.

Blogging and Feminism Panel
The Panel on Blogging and Feminism in NYC was really fantastic! I didn’t make it to the EO Wilson talk, but I know Starre did! So she’ll have more on that I’m sure.

Another Eco-Chick in New York
I’m in New York City, for the first time ever this week. I think my new favorite thing to do is to just go around taking random photos, landing at my friends house and photo shopping the hell out of them.
Anyway, I have to say I’m impressed with how ecologically aware the city is. There [...]
Enviro News Round Up
We seem to be having quite a bit of a drop in posts around here! I’m hoping to rack up some goodies this weekend, but we’ll see. Until then, here is some fairly generic (yet oh so interesting!!!) environmental news.
Need a new reason to go on that diet? Well, turns out it’s going to help [...]
Durabook!
I don’t usually just come on and link to things, but this is just way too cool!!
A totally recyclable, tree-free book!! I wish there was some sort of way that I could trade in ALL of my books for these ones! I lost an entire copy of Watership Down because of a bathtub accident. Check [...]
Animals In Medical Research?
When we talk of using animals for biomedical research there are two ground cases as to why it is morally unacceptable; first, it wrongly violates the rights of animals and second because it wrongly imposes on sentient creatures avoidable suffering. In the following I will explain when neither of these arguments is sound based on [...]
Patriarchy of Pork
While reading through my environmental ethics text book today (that will be used for a class called Philosophy and the Environment…woot!) I came across a section called “Patriarchy of Pork or Feminist Fuss” in a chapter called “Ethics and Animals”.
The section is only about a page long (a bit less, actually) but it goes on [...]
Deep Ecology and Ecofeminism
When I was in grade 12 I wrote a paper that I thought was fantastic. I hate that I can say I still have it – and got to read over it again today, it’s pretty horrible. Actually, for it being the first a) philosophy paper and b) environmental paper I ever wrote, it didn’t [...]
