Joker, Joaquin Phoenix touched upon humanity’s knack for hotboxing Mother Earth. “We go into the natural world, and we plunder it for its resources.

We feel entitled to artificially inseminate a cow, and when she gives birth, we steal her baby, even though her cries of anguish are unmistakable,” he said while collecting the best actor gong at the 92nd Academy Awards. “Then we take her milk that's intended for her calf, and we put it in our coffee and our cereal. ” We’re bad children, then.

And, though many could decry the speech as more pulpit bluster, Phoenix actually lives by his values. He’s an avowed vegan, an animal rights activist, a board member for a non-profit that provides free school lunches.
