The leaning of a large portion of the population towards capitalism that understands extraction as a resource, implies the need to develop a New Culture of the Territory. Alternatives that focus on a different relationship with our natural environment and that take into account the limits of the planet need to be found. Therefore, it is crucial to create or to develop an energy model that overcomes the extractivist paradigm and promotes clean and renewable energies. In this new paradigm, there is no room for fracking. There is neither room for any of its variants nor for any other kind of destructive practice with speculative aims.
We name the project Enkráteia, or temperance, because its main aim is to transfer Socrates and Aristotle’s enkráteia from the individual scope to the socio-ecological, and, thus, to move from individual self-control towards civilizatory self-containedness.
