Mother Nature is a Drag: Why Pattie Gonia’s “Have You Considered?” is the Wake-Up Call We Need
If you aren’t following Pattie Gonia, you’re missing out on the most vital (and fabulous) voice in the climate movement. As a self-proclaimed “professional homosexual,” hiker, and environmentalist, Pattie has spent years dragging the outdoor industry into a more inclusive, sustainable future.
Now, she’s trading the hiking boots for pop-star heels with her latest single, “Have You Considered?” It’s a track that manages to be both a certified dance-floor filler and a searing existential question.
The Message: Beyond the Glitter
We’ve all seen the doom-and-gloom climate headlines. Pattie’s genius lies in her ability to take that heavy, overwhelming “eco-anxiety” and turn it into art.
“Have You Considered?” isn’t a lecture; it’s an invitation. It asks us to look at our relationship with the Earth through a lens of wonder rather than just guilt. While her previous work—like the hauntingly beautiful collaboration with legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma—showed her range in the classical space, this new single proves she can dominate the pop charts without losing her soul.
Why This Track Hits Different
What makes Pattie Gonia such a force is the authenticity. This isn’t “greenwashing” for clicks. Whether she’s wearing a dress made of recycled tents or organizing “Queer Outdoor” community hikes, Pattie lives her lyrics.
In “Have You Considered?”, the production is crisp and modern, but the heartbeat of the song is pure activism. It’s the perfect anthem for anyone who:
-
Feels the weight of the climate crisis but wants to stay hopeful.
-
Believes that the “outdoors” belongs to everyone—not just the folks in the gear ads.
-
Needs a high-energy beat to get through their morning commute (or their next trail run).
How to Join the Movement
Pattie always says that we don’t need a handful of people doing environmentalism perfectly; we need millions of people doing it imperfectly. After you’ve added the track to your “Save the Planet” playlist, here are a few ways to channel that Pattie Gonia energy:
-
Follow the Journey: Keep up with Pattie on Instagram and TikTok for a mix of stunning visuals and genuine climate education.
-
Support Queer Outdoors: Look into the organizations Pattie champions that help make nature a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community.
-
Vibe and Vote: Use the energy from the song to engage with local climate policy. As Pattie says, individual action is great, but systemic change is the goal.
“The world is a stage, and Mother Nature is the headliner.”
