From the Toolbox for Sustainable City Living (Scott Kellogg, Stacy Pettigrew, Juan Martinez)
Radical Sustainability confronts the underlying reasons our current path is not sustainable and works to create genuinely sustainable alternatives.
A radically sustainable viewpoint recognizes the inseparability of ecological and social issues and the necessity of ensuring the solution to one problem does not create or worsen another. For this reason it develops autonomous energy infrastructures and it opposes US imperialism around the world and gentrification in inner cities of the United States. It simultaneously supports indigenous movements, women’s rights, and police accountability campaigns and works to create healthy soil. These issues–and many others–are as critical to our future as preserving the world’s remaining wilderness, fighting global warming, and creating global sustainable food production.
