Self-sufficiency is Not the Solution

“We do not think the solution to environmental crises is self-sufficiency, because such a condition is not possible even if it were desirable. If self-sufficient human communities exist at all, they are extremely rare. One might argue that no such community ever existed by interpreting ’self-sufficient’ to mean independent of other humans.”
