The Great Simplification is the process by which we transcend the complexity of our current system and move to a more sustainable and equitable model. It involves making conscious, thoughtful decisions about how we use energy, consume resources, interact with technology, and interact with one another. Ultimately, it’s about being mindful of our actions in order to create a society that meets the needs of all people, while taking the strain off of our environment. Through thoughtful simplification and meaningful action we can create communities, networks and systems that are more balanced, equitable, and sustainable.
