NO LIGHT Ecology: A Bit Icky
No Light Ecology searches for the darkness in our light filled efforts to save the world’s ecology. One of the key points is sacrifice. Solutions to climate change, and the biodiversity crisis, are not always in keeping with our modern expectations of cleanliness. Some of the kindest products are in fact a bit icky!

There was a culture of preserving the land, and protecting it from human destruction.
Vegan Sweet Potato Salad
Summer is fading fast, but I couldn’t resist this potato salad full of seasonal delights like squash and hazelnuts. Always a classic growing up, potatoes wrapped in mayo, with chives from the garden was served cold with salad.
NO LIGHT Ecology: Challenging Industrialisation

Capitalism, its antithesis, had been brewing for some millennia, but with the advent of industrial solutions, the downsides of capitalism such as environmental destruction, and inequality, spiralled out of control.
