Imperfect Eco-Hero is a podcast that aims to use storytelling as a way to connect with and celebrate the local ecology and global community of people who are resisting the commodification, privatization and exploitation of the Earth and all life on it. By changing the way, we view our relationship with nature, we believe that the seeming impossibilities of climate change can be made possible and ecological justice can be achieved.
So often it is easy to get discouraged, overwhelmed, anxious and even hopeless, about our collective and individual impacts on the Earth, and for many, these feelings have been amplified by the pandemic’s abundance of loneliness, confusion and grief.
Our project wants to build a community of folks that want to do right by the planet but aren’t always sure how, and we want to empower each other to be eco-heroes and normalize the notion that we can’t always be perfect at it.
Welcome to the Imperfect Eco-Hero Community.

Connecting Community
We believe that community makes us stronger as individuals. Through listening to and engaging in each other’s stories, we hope the Imperfect Eco-Hero community will serve as a safe and welcoming space for folks to be their authentic selves, to find a place for both comfort and growth, and to build meaningful relationships with others.
Normalizing Imperfections
So many narratives tell us what we’re doing wrong, or shame us for ‘not doing enough.’ Imperfect Eco-Hero strives to remove any elements of shaming, and instead, normalize the notion that its unnecessary to be perfect. We understand that we are trying our best with what tools we have, and that navigating through the environmental crisis is difficult and confusing.
Empowering Heroes
By using storytelling to celebrate our own and each other’s growth, we want this community of Imperfect Eco-Heroes to feel empowered to be better allies in the environmental movement, to connect with nature, to resist the exploitation of the natural world, and to make meaningful contributions in our daily lives.
