Green Queen is an award-winning impact media platform advocating for social and environmental change and dedicated to shifting consumer behavior in eco wellness.
By providing trusted, reliable content, Green Queen hopes to offer concrete solutions to the public so they can make changes in their daily lives. In this episode, we reconnect with the Green Queen herself, Sonalie Figueiras, to hear even more about why it is important for all of us to start doing more to save our planet.
“I don’t see another path forward, I feel I must act.”
Since we last spoke to Sonalie on episode 35, autumn of 2017, public awareness of climate change has grown. There is much more urgency for each and every one of us to start acting in order to save our planet, even if that means unravelling all the messaging we received previously. We can all start by just buying less. As you listen to this episode, you will hear the unsettling realities of what is happening to Earth and why Sonalie is determined more than ever to continue Green Queen even when it is tough.
In this episode, you will learn about…
- How Green Queen has grown since we last spoke to Sonalie
- Why our planet’s health is interconnected with our own health
- Upcoming trends in conversations around environmental awareness and justice
- How anger can serve a purpose in movements
- Sonalie’s challenges and motivations of being a founder
- What we can all start doing today to live an eco-well life
Sonalie expresses her bewilderment and frustration in those who do not prioritize the health of our planet. She explains that to be pro-environment means to have safe food, clean water, clean air and so much more that is inevitably good for our own health and necessary for survival. In spite of many challenges, Sonalie’s strength and hyper-observation have made Green Queen the comprehensive resource it is today.
“It is really hard and continues to be hard. I don’t think it actually gets easier. I am proud to still be here.”
