Good Life Prize

This remarkable and quietly radical project gives us an optimistic view into a good life that is possible beyond our current wasteful practices and also beyond an incremental approach to improvements. Circularity is about a way of life as much as it is about technology or materials. INOW gives us a sense of the radical transformations needed to address the immensity of the climate change emergency. It also gives us a window into the wonderful and appealing results of changing the way we live. And it is a poignant reminder of “lost wisdom of the past” and the role that traditional, indigenous, and vernacular practices must play in a meaningful transition to a circular economy. I would love to see more details of the program, and to find out more about how visitors will take lessons from their experience back home with them to other locations where they live. I would also love to see how this project could scale up and create significant change through the multiplier effect of awareness—visitors will be changed themselves, and they will tell others, and those other will tell still more people.

この注目すべき、密かに先鋭的なプロジェクトは、現在の私たちの浪費的な行動や、改善への漸次的アプローチを越えたところで、良い生き方というものが実現できるという楽観的な見通しを与えてくれます。 循環型社会とは、技術や素材だけでなく生活様式のことでもあります。 INOWは、巨大な気候変動の緊急事態に対処するために必要な、根本的な変革を感じさせてくれます。また、生き方を変えることで得られる、素晴らしく魅力的な結果について考えさせてくれます。そして、「失われた過去の知恵」と、循環型経済への有意義な移行において、伝統的・土着的・地域的な慣習が果たすべき役割を、痛切に思い起こさせてくれます。 このプログラムの詳細をもっと知りたいと思います。そして、来場者が自分の体験から得た教訓をそれぞれが暮らす地域に持ち帰り、どう活用するのかに興味があります。また、このプロジェクトがどのようにスケールアップするのか、つまり来場者自身が変わり、他の人々に伝え、それがさらに他の人に伝わる意識の乗数効果によってどれほど大きな変化をもたらすのかを見てみたいです。
