With their Montréal book launch approaching, video journalist Kalden Dhatsenpa sits down with Montreal authors Vijay Kolinjivadi and Aaron Vansintjan to discuss the book they have co-authored, The Sustainability Class: How to Take Back the Future from Lifestyle Environmentalists.

The work examines a certain subsection of the population. Environmentalists. Specifically, the ones whose activism lies solely within their consumption habits and maybe even worse, their aesthetics.

Kolinjivadi and Vansintjan describe the archetypes of this class of people and the ways that they manifest themselves in Montreal, often with deleterious effect for working-class population.

Tune in for the full conversation.
