A Quick Warning: The Wellness to White Supremacy Pipeline

Making changes to protect the environment often times leads to making changes to protect yourself from chemicals and general capitalism industry products that could lead to impacted health. It is easy to find yourself searching and listening to the millions of people within the "Wellness" industry. This is a multibillion dollar industry, riddled with misinformation and pseudoscience. A lot of language used by the wellness industry is similar to multi level marketing language, and is primarily targeted toward women. 

I HIGHLY encourage that you read the full article by Toronto journalist Stacy Lee Kong, Looks Like the Wellness-To-White Supremacy Pipeline Is Alive and Well. Or this article from the Brown Political Review, Examining the "Wellness"-to-Far-Right-Conspiracy Pipeline.

While there is scientific backing of natural remedies, it is far too often covered by misinformation hoping to gain your money and trust, and eventually carry your opinions and beliefs all the way around to the very beginning, essentially unlearning so far that you forget why you started making lifestyle changes. Always remember that the goal of a low waste, environmentalist lifestyle is to bring everyone in the world closer under the single goal of protecting the planet for future generations, not as a form of division.
