Q&A with Charlotte Lim

here Charlotte Lim is an advocate of climate justice and animal rights. She spends her spare time volunteering at NSW Hen Rescue, an animal sanctuary dedicated to the liberation of all animals, especially caged hens.

Alongside her photography, she shares her passionate decision to not have children, because of the great burden humans are on the environment, in her piece ‘Clearing the air: childfree by choice’.

here When I arrived in Lund in 2019 there was a small sliver of snow on the streets in January and February. When I left a year later there was nothing but a light drizzle. The contrast between those two experiences of Swedish winter are quite haunting when I think about melting ice-caps on a planetary scale.

https://www.thevampiresource.com/ygm8azd Access to a safe, healthy and stable environment in my eyes is a fundamental right for all species. Climate change threatens this right and therefore threatens a community’s access to justice (whether that be class, racial or eco-justice) and achieving a just and secure society for all beings matters so much to me.
