193: How Antoinette Vermilye Fights for Oceans and Environmental Justice

Ocean health is not just a climate issue; it’s a justice issue. And change starts with empowered citizens, innovative solutions, and inclusive leadership. In this episode, we sit down with Antoinette Vermilye, co-founder of the Gallifrey Foundation and SHE Changes Climate. She discusses the hidden costs of our plastic addiction, from microplastics in our bloodstreams to the looming threat of deep sea mining. We also dive deep into ocean ecosystems, corporate greenwashing, and why empowering women could be the key to a livable future. Antoinette shows how small actions, coalition-building, and reframing environmental narratives can spark real impact.
