Welcome to the Simplicity Institute
The Simplicity Institute seeks to facilitate the rapid transition away from consumer society toward a sustainable and more rewarding society based on material sufficiency.
Given that the essential factor in our global predicament is overconsumption, the most obvious principle for a sustainable society is that those who are over-consuming must move to far more materially ‘simple’ lifestyles. This does not mean deprivation or hardship. It means focusing on what is sufficient. Most of our basic needs can be met in quite simple and resource-cheap ways, while maintaining a high quality of life. The Simplicity Institute focuses on what a society would look like if it were based on this ‘simpler’ way of living and explores how we might get there.
We are also developing networks of active collaboration between existing participants in the Simplicity Movement, in the hope of providing educational tools and resources to help mainstream the idea that ‘simpler lifestyles’ provide a high quality alternative to consumer capitalist society.
