Ecoradicalism often involves a fundamental critique of industrial society, capitalism, and anthropocentrism (human-centeredness), arguing for drastic changes to address ecological crises. Beliefs often include: (1) The idea that human activities are exceeding ecological limits and threatening the planet’s carrying capacity; (2) Concerns about overpopulation as a major driver of environmental degradation, leading some to advocate for population control measures; and (3) A strong emphasis on reducing consumption and waste, promoting simpler, more sustainable lifestyles, and challenging consumer culture.
