We live in a world of gross overconsumption across industries such as fashion, consumer goods and electronics, food, automobiles, etc.- and research suggests that we have not yet reached the peak of this mass consumption. These patterns of consumption are creating irreversible destruction to our natural environment, threatening human and multispecies longevity, and destroying entire ecologies. Conventional western efforts towards sustainability are not being adopted at a fast enough pace or large enough scale. I theorize that this is because efforts focus on the idea of 'reduction' or that we need to live with less - which for many feels like a joyless way of living ridden with both emotional and aesthetic sacrifice. This reductionist ideology is built upon and exists within a scarcity mindset reflective of our established capitalist framework. In order to build an abundant world of radical ecological interdependence, we need to shift our mindset. By designing with the natural environment instead of against it we can build rich, lush, aesthetically vibrant worlds. The subversion of an extraction/consumption orientation towards nature makes this work inherently feminist as it aims to dismantle the capitalist system built upon western androcentric ethics.
