Note for the audience, he is a PhD student in the Netherlands.

l urge degrowth & other climate action researchers to keep in mind that all extraction adds damages to people & ecosystems somewhere, & challenge them to rise above techno-modernist ideology to envision radical alternative ways of organizing our lives & societies. 1/ Before advocating for each household to have appliances & gadgets that have only proliferated in recent decades, please think of how we could greatly reduce our dependence on such technologies. Here are two low-tech alternatives for the basic tasks of washing & cooking. 2/ The needs-based poverty metric illuminates much smarter strategies for development. Once we understand that ending poverty is a matter of ensuring people can access the goods and services necessary to meet their needs, then the objective should be to increase production of those specific goods and services. So far we have referred to the goods that comprise the basic needs poverty line (food, shelter, clothing
When it comes to preparing & consuming food, communal kitchens would eliminate the need to have refrigerators, stoves, ovens, & other kitchen appliances in each home. They would reduce the consumption of materials & energy, & also food waste, by a lot. 6/ There are so many simple ideas we could implement before giving in to extractivist, colonialist & ecocidal techno-modern approaches. Of course they require a radical reorganization of our societies & a shift of values, especially from individualism to collectivism. 71

Someone should tell this man that every breath he takes is stealing someone more worthy in the Global South's air.

I feel like asking him: "So since you're volunteering, are you willing to get rid of your kitchen stuff first?"
