The environmentalism, far from what many may think from the outside, is not a lifestyle or a trend that has begun to take place recently. Caring for the environment and the environment has been a constant idea in many civilizations, and in fact, most pagan cultures had a great respect for nature. It has been the last few centuries that have made human beings an arrogant species, who believe they are in possession of everything around them, without stopping to think about the risks of changing their ecosystem. The Industrial Revolution was the first turning point in this path that leads us straight to the precipice, if we are not able to stop in time. And we are not talking about going back to the time when it was hardly consumed, but understanding that we must do it in a much more efficient way, if we want to leave the planet to future generations.
The current environmentalism is widely criticized by many sectors who think that it is either useless at this point, or goes against the evolution of society itself. Our capitalist system has imposed a model of constant growth, promoting mass production, which precisely generates the destruction of the environment in search of raw materials. To maintain that system, to maintain our current culture, the wheel cannot stop turning. That is why many look with suspicion at those who advocate reducing consumption, for having a more frugal life, for recycling and reusing instead of continuing to buy without thinking. Environmentalism, care for the environment, is not an ideology, it is a way of living with meaning, of integrating ourselves into a much lighter system for our environment. Thus, it has become a transversal trend that can be defended by production companies, by consumers and by anyone who wants to do their bit. Even in a world where large corporations and governments are reluctant to change the way they work and produce, something can always be done. From the porn industry, the actress and activist Amarna Miller has already tried it, taking advantage of her popularity to launch powerful messages.
A unique pornstar
Amarna Miller has been using this pseudonym since before she even entered the world of porn, since she feels comfortable with that name. She was born in Madrid, the capital of Spain, in 1990, and has always been interested in alternative trends both in fashion and in art, culture, sexuality and environmentalism. At just 19 years old and while studying Psychology in Madrid, the young woman creates a company with which she begins to produce pornographic content. She normally appears as the protagonist in videos and photos, showing herself in all her splendor and wasting sensuality. Soon after, she is contacted by a big international production company to start shooting porn with them. She filmed her first scene when she was only 20 years old, and in a short time she became a star thanks to her self-confidence and her particular beauty.
Its popularity beyond porn
In the year 2014 her definitive takeoff as a porn actress took place, since she was nominated for the Ninfa award for Best Spanish Actress. She closes her erotic company and begins to shoot in the United States for gigantic production companies such as Brazzers, achieving great popularity worldwide. In those years, from 2015 to 2017, he received all kinds of awards and nominations, also becoming a recognized public figure in Spain. She appears on magazine covers and participates as a collaborator in some radio and television programs. She also launched her first book in 2014, with a prologue by Nacho Vigalondo, although she is not very satisfied with that edition. His popularity continues to grow as he conducts mass media interviews, speaking openly about porn and sexuality.
Miller has edited several books of essays, poetry and photography, declaring himself a very creative person beyond porn. In fact, after retiring in 2017 in search of new experiences, she declared that for her the porn industry was just another job, a way of making a living. She was not opposed to porn itself, but to the stigma that many still have about the women and men who appear in these films. She always tried to show that beyond porn stars, they are also people, with ideas, emotions and culture. She gave numerous talks on the subject of feminism and porn with members of the Podemos political party, with which she was aligned almost from birth. He also created a YouTube channel in which he recounts his experiences and adventures after quitting porn, with a much calmer life.
Controversies and controversies
Amarna Miller has always shown herself to be an empowered woman with very clear ideas, capable of speaking about any topic without mincing words. This, in 2014, was still a surprise to many, who only saw her as that cute girl who does porn. His theories about non-monogamous relationships went viral thanks to his tweets and videos. She has always declared herself bisexual and has had different open relationships, a faithful believer in polyamory. This has also generated a lot of controversy, since it showed a quite stale vision of monogamous relationships, considering them unrealistic. His appearance in the FICEB spot also generated great controversy, where he directly attacked the most conservative sectors of Spain.
In a country where the right still has a strong presence and the extreme right has been gaining ground in recent years, Miller has always been in the sights of the conservatives. Not only for her work as a porn actress, but also for being a woman who doesn’t just appear in erotic scenes, but has her own voice and doesn’t give up on it. Those same sectors have also attacked her for using Christian symbology in some short films. Other controversies have had to do with her alleged double standards, assuring that sometimes she did not feel fully prepared to shoot porn but she did it because it was her job. This has generated a lot of discussion about consent within porn, and about how common it is to record without fully enjoying the experience.
His activism
Since she began her career and gained notoriety, Miller has taken advantage of her popularity to launch an activist discourse in favor of feminism, environmentalism and healthy sexuality. The actress has conducted interviews with all kinds of media talking about these issues and taking a great interest in achieving real environmentalism, in search of a much less harmful rhythm of life with the environment. In fact, for a while he left his house and went to live with a van, consuming as few resources as possible. She has been a vegan for years and has always been against the use of cosmetics, clothing or food of animal origin. A porn actress with very clear ideas and a lot of passion when it comes to expressing them.
