What if we shaped the world not through power, but through care?
Ursula K. Le Guin’s “Carrier Bag Theory” challenges the notion that history and progress
are only the products of weapons and violence. Instead, she highlights that humanity has
survived through gathering and sharing in bags—symbols of community and
cooperation.

Script: Tian
Eckardt is a farmer from Lützerath, Germany, whose family had lived on their land for four generations. Faced with the threat of a massive coal mine, he fought to remain on his farm and offered sanctuary to activists opposing the development. Lützerath quickly became a powerful symbol of resistance against German and global climate policies. Notably, studies commissioned by the German government later revealed that the coal beneath Lützerath was unnecessary.
The eviction attracted international attention, with nearly 40,000 people attempting to halt the process. Despite their efforts, the police succeeded in evicting Eckardt and demolishing his farm within days. Some experts argue that the demolition aimed to dismantle the symbol of the climate movement.
