In the twentieth century, whether we knew it or not, our world was shaped by modernist values, from the design of our cities to our homes, technologies and our conceptions of progress. Sustainism recasts our relationship to all of these things, binding ecological issues to a larger picture of our world. As the authors of this manifesto argue, sustainism marks a shift not only in thinking and doing but in collective perception of how we live, do business, feed ourselves, design, travel and communicate, as much as how we deal with nature.
