“I realized my microphone was a gun to break the silence of the violence against women and the quiet war on women.” — Chouchou Namegabe. Chouchou who works in the Democratic Republic of the #Congo, or what the United Nations has called “the #rape capital of the world” — where 400,000 women are sexually assaulted each year. That violence against women is a direct result of the conflicts fueled by our addiction to the latest gadgets, and an out-of-control global #commodities market that values #cobalt to fuel our #iphones—while ignoring the cost to women’s bodies and the environment. In her latest piece for Eco-chick, our columnist @iam_jessica_williamson sits with with Chouchou to figure out how this happened. #metoo #womensrightsarehumanrights #sdg5 #reusereducerecycle #climateactionnow #amazonfires #lungsoftheearth #bethechange #ecofeminism #feminism #africanwoman #womensrights #womensbodies #sustainability
Exploring the magic of the Patagonia region at Torres del Paine through an ethical stay at EcoCamp Hotel (@cascadaexpediciones): “To allow travelers to experience such a unique landscape, EcoCamp employs green energy, a “sophisticated waste recycling system” and an immense respect for the area. Throughout their stay, guests are consistently and subtly reminded of the lodging’s harmony with its surroundings and efforts to avoid disruption. This intention encourages guests (whether they decided to stay here for the low impact design or not) to carry this awareness with them throughout the park.” Link in profile for the full article! #patagonia #travel #wanderlust #ethicaltravel #ecohotel #ecotravel
