A Great Refusal. This is where it starts. This is our collective power that can not be matched, or resisted.
"Given that overconsumption is driving many of the world’s most pressing problems, it may be that ethical activity today requires that we critically reflect on our own subjectivities in order to refuse who we are — so far as we are uncritical consumers.This Great Refusal would open up space to create new, post-consumerist forms of subjectivity, which is surely part of the revolution in consciousness needed in order to produce a society based on a ‘simpler way.’"
- Samuel Alexander
A simpler, better way is possible. We have been there before, and we will be there again.
Our experiment with complex excess has failed. This is not the time to hesitate.
Start (or step up) your personal Great Refusal today.
When enough of us choose the ethical alternative (opting out), the scales will tip and once again we will win.
Great Reseters, witness the might of our non-violent, peaceful Great Refusal.
So much to refuse, so little time left to refuse it.
