Cathexis participated in the global climate strike in Toronto on September 27, joining thousands of school strikers and the adults supporting them. While we enjoyed the many clever, funny, or even pointedly rude signs, we came away with a better understanding of the urgency of the climate crisis and of the inadequacy of half-measures at this late stage. We met staff from a fellow B Corp, Green Circle Salons, whose program allows salons to repurpose and recover up to 95 percent of “beauty waste”.
We left newly inspired and committed to continue reflecting on our own practices, including our new commitment to purchase carbon offsets in cases where traveling by air is unavoidable.
