This publication combines statements on our species’ striking ecological footprint with works on the growing islands of plastic in the oceans and mountains of rubbish on land. It assesses the situation with pictures of the way humans have reshaped Earth’s surface: the way we alter our world brings endless new suggestions for improvements and approaches to solving problems we ourselves have created.
As well as dystopian scenarios, WEtransFORM also offers insights into the intensive search for alternatives and presents new dialogues between humankind and nature: counter-models to traditional energy sources, examples of fair production, action taken to reduce consumption and renounce status symbols, personal guidelines for environmentally friendly lifestyles, and models for fairer distribution of resources.
Featuring the work of Mark Dion, Richard Buckminster Fuller, Tue Greenfort, SUPERFLEX, and many others.
Classic environmentalist literature is usefully referenced throughout the resource-index of this publication. Titles include: Walden (Henry David Thoreau), Silent Spring (Rachel Carson), Small is Beautiful (E.F. Schumacher), and the Whole Earth Catalog.
