climate activism for beginners (2/2) Sarah Karver 2020-07-14 | Are you ready to fight for change? In this video I talk about how the climate conversations needs to reframe our power as individuals beyond our financial choices. When we begin to see ourselves as constituents, workers, students, friends it's clear that consumer choices are but one tool in our toolbox. My views are heavily influenced by the lovely Mary Annaïse Heglar (here's her twitter: twitter.com/MaryHeglar)If you'd like a more 101 of learning about climate issues, be sure to check out the first video I made on this topic: youtu.be/rGT-JjMh8zMEdited English Closed Captions available!

2020 grad day in the life job searching Sarah Karver 2021-05-11 | I made this video at the tail end of 2020 when I was in the thick of job searching and feeling super down about it. I'm so thankful that since creating it I was offered and started my full-time job with the State of California. I think there's a big stigma around not getting a job right after graduating or moving back with parents, but there really shouldn't be (especially in ~these times~). Hoping this video gives a bit of insight and if you're in a similar situation makes you feel less alone.

the man who funded our free-market climate dystopia Sarah Karver 2021-01-20 | It's chuck's world, we're just living in it. This video is a brain dump. It's sorta about libertarianism, sorta about climate denial, sorta a roast of the world's 11th richest man. The key question I want the climate movement to ask more is: is this idea helpful? It is in line with a climate just future? If not, let's get it outta here. Plutes gunna plute but let's not be immune to their propaganda.

wellness in the anthropocene Sarah Karver 2020-10-06 | How do we cultivate wellness on an unwell planet? This is a glimpse into my personal story; a story rooted in privilege. In this video, based off a paper I wrote in February 2020, I explore the conflict of living a "normal" existence in the Anthropocene. While I was going to make this video back then, I held off. Then COVID-19 shut down the world and suddenly my calendar became less and less dense, my days more unplanned, and my capacity to emotional keep up even more stretched. Even if you can't relate to the words, I hope you find solace in the nature footage.

How evil is Shell? Sarah Karver 2019-07-09 | We all know fossil fuels are a big contributor to climate change. But how much time should we spend being angry at individual companies?

9 things you can do to save the planet Sarah Karver 2019-06-25 | I'm feeling very Buzzfeed today making a listicle video. I recently read "Drawdown" (goodreads.com/book/show/31624481-drawdown?ac=1&from_search=true) and learned more about the solutions we need to enact TODAY to lessen the impacts of climate change. Good news! 9 out of 80 solutions are things we can have a direct personal impact in. The other 71? Those will require more fundamental systems changes, which as individuals we can't control. But! We can make a change though political activism & choosing a climate friendly or climate positive career path.

airbnb is problematic, heres why Sarah Karver 2019-01-29 | Airbnb seems like a great way to interact with local culture and a more personal alternative to hotels. However, studies and reporting have shown that its business model isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Today's video addresses these problems and gives some solutions on how to book home-stays in a more socially responsible way. The core message of Airbnb is great, but it all depends on how users and hosts utilize the platform and how Airbnb follows laws and regulations.Full list of sources: docs.google.com/document/d/1qsWwi0EpkmFI4Tt0RXRuuBUpGAFLr5CwllcLITtuf6M/edit?usp=sharing M Y F A V O R I T E B R A N D Sdocs.google.com/document/d/1lKV-rfJshQM8M8j3CiJurPM2iLYKzL_FjRdno63mZKA/edit?usp=sharingS H O P M Y F I N D Sposhmark.com/closet/sarahkarverA B O U T M EMy name is Sarah, and I’m just a gal looking to spread some information about sustainability, ethical fashion, and travel.

this is why I quit fast fashion and you should too Sarah Karver 2019-01-21 | Fashion has the power to be a change agent. But until the industry cleans up its environmental practices and treats its workers fairly, I refuse to buy from fast fashion brands. In this video I'll explain the tipping point for me, share some facts, and some solutions. I hope you'll join me in quitting fast fashion.

should you visit roatan, honduras? Sarah Karver 2019-01-14 | This holiday break I spent seven days on the Honduran island of Roatàn with my family, which is about 1.5 hours by ferry from mainland. We snorkeled, held monkeys, and suntanned. I'm very thankful to have a family who values travel. In this video I'll share my favorite and least favorite parts of my vacation, and give you insight into whether Roatàn would be a place well suited for what you want out of a vacation. Personally, the activities available on the island overall weren't what I enjoy and I didn't like the cruise ship atmosphere. However, snorkeling is absolutely stunning!

the goodwill outlet experience + thrift haul Sarah Karver 2019-01-08 | In this video, I go secondhand shopping with my mom, sister, and her friend at the amazing Goodwill Outlet (affectionately nicknamed the "bins"). We encounter gross things and gems galore, all while getting a great deal of $1.54 a pound. I'll show you how to succeed at the outlet and what to expect when you first go. Don't forget your gloves, and good luck!M Y F A V O R I T E B R A N D Sdocs.google.com/document/d/1lKV-rfJshQM8M8j3CiJurPM2iLYKzL_FjRdno63mZKA/edit?usp=sharingS H O P M Y F I N D Sposhmark.com/closet/sarahkarverA B O U T M EMy name is Sarah, and I’m just a gal looking to spread some information about sustainability, ethical fashion, and travel.
