SOLUTIONS
Our Approach
Through a variety of programs and collaboration with partner organizations, we inspire narrative, behavioral, and system change toward substantially downscaling the human enterprise to enable natural ecosystems, nonhuman animals, and humanity to flourish together. Our outreach includes a podcast, classroom and conference presentations, and academic and popular media publications to help make the connections between pronatalism, reproductive and social justice, overpopulation, and ecological collapse, and to promote urgently needed solutions while exploring how anthropocentrism and our current economic and political models stand in the way.
-
Beyond Pronatalism Toward Liberated Choices
Pronatalism—the social bias and pressure toward having children—is the fundamental driver of our population growth as well as reproductive and social injustice worldwide.
We empower people to make liberated and informed choices for themselves, their families, and the planet, including adopting broader understandings of “family” with our human and nonhuman kin.
-
Beyond Anthropocentrism Toward Ecocentrism
Anthropocentrism is a widely shared worldview that humans alone possess intrinsic value and that nature and all other beings hold value only in their ability to serve humans.
We advocate for a radical shift in our relationship with all animals and with the entire natural world: from one of domination and exploitation, to one of reverence, justice, and care.
-
Beyond Social Inequities Toward Social Justice
Vast social inequity, in which billions live in poverty while millions enjoy enormous wealth, is an inevitable consequence of the pursuit of unlimited growth on a finite planet.
We challenge the unjust and growth-driven social, political, and economic systems that exploit and disempower human communities and threaten all life on Earth.
