For too long we have assumed the Earth beneath us to be a static and stable constant. In fact, it is anything but.

We have much to learn from those cultures that, rather than deplete ecosystems, presided over their enrichment.

Rather than be mired in self-judgment at our play with carbon, we can be dazzled by the Earth’s.

From its primordial origins to its modern petro-capital fate, plastic connects us to our planet's epic unfolding.

Our century-long story of plastic as human-made and managed has been woefully short-sighted.

Imagine a world where the very way we live is steadily enriching the ecosystems in which we are immersed.
