Editor's Statement
By stepping backwards in magnitudes of scale and time, 100 | 10 | 0 asked contributors to:
100) Understand our many visions of the future by means of the past,
10) Consider the powers and practices behind institutional change, and
0) Frame advocacy now through the reciprocity between conversation and action.
100 | 10 | 0 is about environmental action, but environmental action is about everything now. It is infrastructure, translations, community tradition, stone. It is self, glass, wild rice, plastic. It is poetry, weather, New York, Khrushchevka. The plurality is disorienting, but decision paralysis and moratorium only benches us, and change is long past here.
Contributors questioned how we measure our role in change — seeing future practice as novel relationships with time and community by challenging preconceptions on commodified knowledge and economics as establishment tools that will continue engagement within a broken cycle. A ‘green’ future is necessary; a just one relies on granular, conversational progress.
